A widely adopted practice for in-field testing of electronic devices uses Software-Based Self-Test (SBST) in the form of Software Test Libraries (STLs). Typically, STLs target the stuck-at and Transition Delay Fault (TDF) models. However, to face the new defects introduced by the most recent semiconductor technologies, new fault models must be adopted. Small Delay Defects (SDDs) play an increasingly important role in this scenario. Unlike TDFs, SDDs slightly increase the paths’ timing, whose size is not in the same order of magnitude of the clock period. These defects can cause failures during the operational phase if they affect the critical paths. Remarkably, in scan testing the propagation time of a fault is limited, as a fault effect has to reach the scan flip-flops to be detected. However, in functional testing, the fault effect may require several clock cycles before reaching an observable point. Thus, the delay due to the fault cannot be indefinitely *** there will be the need to move to delay faults when developing STLs, it is important to use the timing information correctly in functional fault simulations. SDDs are the typical choice. In this paper, we implemented a fault grading process for STLs to show how the fault coverage they can achieve changes when the delay defect increases (from SDDs to the extreme case of TDFs). The work uses static timing analysis; although this is known to yield pessimistic results in some cases, it gives a very good indication of the trend in fault coverage as the SDDs approximate TDFs. Differences in fault coverages with respect to the TDF model are highlighted, while an assessment of the effects of multi-cycle delays is also provided.

In recent years, containerized deployment models have gained favor across many domain of applications. Kubernetes, the de-facto standard for containers orchestration, can efficiently manage heterogeneous devices, but fails to adapt to possibly stringent requirements, as it only considers computing metrics for scheduling decisions. In addition, the rising prominence of distributed cloud environments, which enable the development of highly available, performant solutions, requires modifications to the default Kubernetes scheduler. To address these challenges, we introduce LAIS, a multi-cluster Kubernetes scheduler optimized for end-to-end latency measurements to enhance user Quality of Experience (QoE). Unlike existing approaches, we define a geographically distributed environment and deploy a solution that satisfies user-specified intents in terms of latency. Depending on user needs, LAIS can either meet a specific latency constraint or schedule pods in the cluster with the lowest latency. After implementing LAIS in a multi-cluster environment, we found it highly effective in accommodating a range of user intents, outperforming the default Kubernetes scheduler in this regard.

The programming flexibility and parallelism of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) contribute to their effective adoption in complex and data-intensive fields like Machine Learning, especially in the deployment of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). CNNs are also used in some safety-critical applications with severe reliability constraints, such as autonomous driving and robotics. Modern GPUs efficiently combine hardware schedulers controllers and in-chip accelerators (e.g., Tensor Core Units, or TCUs) to enhance CNN’s performance. Interestingly, fine-grain reliability analyses combining the operation of task scheduling policies in GPUs and TCUs have remained unexplored. This work analyses the reliability impact of scheduling policies on GPUs when permanent faults affect TCUs, during the execution of CNN operations. We developed a configurable architectural GPU model (in terms of clusters and parallel cores) that implements five selectable scheduling policies and supports the instruction-accurate execution of TCUs. Our results indicate that the GPU’s architecture and the scheduling policy play a crucial role in the application’s corruption from faulty TCUs. From the experiments, we found that some policies can reduce the corruption effects by up to 22% for large GPUs. In addition, we evaluated the dynamic variability of the scheduling policies and their complexity on identifying deterministic effects on the application’s outputs.

With the rapid development of crowd sensing computing, Mobile crowdsourcing (MCS) has become an indispensable part of today’s society. While MCS brings convenience to people, it also exposes them to the risk of privacy leakage. In addition, the demand for data is increasing, and the personalized privacy requirements of crowd workers may affect the service quality. In order to address these problems, this paper proposes a personalized privacy protection incentive mechanism (PPPIM) for MCS based on homomorphic encryption and edge computing. Firstly, this paper designs a personalized privacy metric, using social attributes and private attributes of crowd workers to calculate the privacy level required by crowd workers. Then, based on homomorphic encryption and edge computing, a personalized residual federated security learning scheme (PRFSL) is proposed to ensure the security, timeliness, integrity of task data and the privacy of crowd workers’ needs to improve encryption efficiency. Finally, based on the evolutionary game, a personalized privacy incentive mechanism is proposed to improve the overall service utility. Experimental comparisons based on real datasets show that the proposed scheme can not only ensure the security, timeliness, and integrity of task data more effectively. It can also effectively reduce data processing time, improve the probability of crowd workers actively completing tasks and the overall service quality utility.
