A circuit for stabilizing soft bits in a bit stream, the circuit having a first register to receive an initial read of the bit stream, a second register to receive a subsequent read of the bit stream, a comparator to compare the initial read of the bit stream to the subsequent read of the bit stream, a third register to receive a comparison string having bits set in positions where the initial read of the bit stream and the subsequent read of the bit stream do not match, indicating a soft bit in the positions, and an accumulator to receive the comparison string for multiple subsequent reads of the bit stream, and track positions of all soft bits detected during the multiple subsequent reads.

Random seed stability with fuses

The present invention is directed to a method of identifying duplicate data elements in large data sets. This involves receiving the data sets. Dividing each data element in the data set into a series of data segments to define data keys. Generating an intermediate value for the each element in the data set using summed values for the data keys. Sorting the data entries using the intermediate values. Sorting the matched intermediate value entries using the data keys. Identifying the duplicate data elements in the data set.

Process for identifying duplicate values in very large data sets

A system and method for collecting and analyzing integrated circuit test vehicle test data by identifying various blocks of circuitry through at least two different intersecting test paths. In one embodiment, the process test circuits may be arranged in a matrix format and connected so that they may be tested along rows or columns. When a failure along a specific row and a specific column is identified, the process test circuit at the intersection may be identified as the failure point.
