  • Publication number: 20230080117
    Abstract: A test control device includes a test variable generation device and a test processing device. The test variable generation device uses a test prediction model to generate a first manipulated variable based on a difference between a target value and a first controlled variable value from a device under test. The test processing device acquires a second controlled variable value from the device under based on use of the first manipulated variable value. The test variable generation device notifies the device under test of end of a test if the second controlled variable value is equal to or greater than the target value or uses the test prediction model to generate a second manipulated variable based on a difference between the target value and the second controlled variable value when the second controlled variable value is less than the target value.

  • Publication number: 20150212923
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a program causes a processor to perform providing, by a fault injection module, cooperation information to a debug function. The program causes a processor to perform receiving, by the fault injection module, a notification of at least one of condition related information and action related information as a response to the cooperation information from the debug function. The program causes a processor to perform determining, by the fault injection module, at least one of a fault injection condition and a fault injection action based on the notification. The program causes a processor to perform creating, by the fault injection module, a fault injection scenario that defines a fault injection procedure with respect to the fault injection target based on at least one of the determined fault injection condition and fault injection action.

  • Patent number: 9081661
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory management device includes a history management unit, an address translation table, an address management unit, and a data management unit. The history management unit manages an access history for data stored in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory. The address translation table includes a translation table of a logical address and a physical address corresponding to the data. The address management unit specifies, based on the access history, second data to be accessed after access to first data being stored in the nonvolatile semiconductor memory, and registers a second physical address corresponding to the second data in the address translation table in association with a first logical address corresponding to the first data. The data management unit reads out the second data from the nonvolatile semiconductor memory to a buffer.

  • Publication number: 20150074473
    Abstract: A pseudo-error generating device of an embodiment includes error injection information including a header section and a data section, a storage section configured to store the error injection information, and at least one error injecting circuit, connected to a test target circuit through a predetermined path, configured to inject a pseudo-error to the predetermined path. The header section includes a port specifying one of the at least one error injecting circuit, and an address specifying the data section. The data section includes an injection condition and error injection data for injecting the pseudo-error. The error injecting circuit injects the pseudo-error to the predetermined path based on the injection condition and the error injection data.
