  • Patent number: 11862275
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for testing a Device Under Test (DUT) in its working environment. A control computer is coupled to an air compressor and generates a temperature control signal that is provided to the air compressor to generate an amount of hot air or cold air to set the temperature of the DUT's working environment to a desired test temperature. The control computer also generates at least one test signal that is sent to a hardware test element for testing at least one memory component of the DUT at the desired test temperature and obtaining test results. The control computer analyzes the test results to determine a parameter adjustment for the at least one memory element so that it operates in a stable manner at the test temperature.

  • Patent number: 8356215
    Abstract: A testing apparatus for analyzing a memory module under test operating within an application system, wherein the memory module under test is coupled to a processor of the application system, is disclosed herein. In at least one embodiment, the testing apparatus comprises a first interface for coupling to the application system, a second interface for coupling to a reference memory module, a controller coupled to the first and second interfaces, at least one comparator, and a data logging unit. The data logging unit is configured to receive logging data from the controller and at least one test result from the at least one comparator, and to record, in a memory, at least a subset of the logging data, such that more specific details of memory errors revealed during behavioral testing of memory modules may be identified, examined, and stored for subsequent analysis.

  • Patent number: 8024336
    Abstract: A system and method for development of search success metrics. A plurality of search engine result pages are collected and a target page success metric is determined for each page. A plurality of machine learned page success metrics are trained using a first subset of the search engine result pages and each result page's respective target page success metric, wherein each of the machine learned page success metrics is trained to predict the target page success metric for each of the first subset of search engine result pages. A predicted target page success metric is predicted for each of a second subset of the search engine result pages using each of the machine learned page success metrics. The accuracy of each of the machine learned page success metrics in predicting the target page success metric associated with each of the second subset of search engine result pages is then evaluated.

  • Patent number: 7848899
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for testing integrated circuit devices within an environment that is representative of the application environment in which an integrated circuit device will be used. In at least one embodiment, the testing system comprises a second reference integrated circuit device that provides flexibility in testing, allowing only the input to a first reference integrated circuit device of an application system to be tapped and not necessarily both input to and output from the first reference integrated circuit device to be tapped. In some embodiments, the input to the first reference integrated circuit device may be subsequently modified by a controller.

    Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus and method for high-speed testing of a device under test are described herein, where the device under test is coupled to a tester via a limited passband communication channel. A plurality of test vector patterns is generated having characteristics such that when a given test vector pattern is transmitted electrically at a transmission rate via the communication channel, the test vector pattern has a frequency content that is less than the frequency content of a high frequency test vector pattern if the high frequency test vector pattern were to be transmitted electrically at the transmission rate via the communication channel, and such that the frequency content of each test vector pattern when transmitted electrically at the transmission rate via the communication channel falls within the passband associated with the communication channel.
