Finding Circuit Faults

Currently, I am working on a project to generate and analyze on-chip test pattern sets, which detects defects and wearout of the hardware. These test patterns can be applied optionally in a multicore chip or a 3d stack. One thing we can do to find the most efficient patterns is psudo-randomly generate test patterns based on a fault's mandatory condition, or pattern that absolutely causes a certain fault.
