However, aggressive technology scaling has increased the number of transient/permanent faults raising the reliability concerns in a SMART NoC. This paper presents a reliability monitoring scheme for addressing channel-short faults in the basic octagon NoC. Along with the online detection and diagnosis of short faults, an effective scheduling scheme is proposed to provide a low-cost test solution that outperforms over a set of prior schemes. © 2020 IEEE.Conference Paper
