A tool for computation of output code spaces in complex self-checking systems

In complex self-checking systems several blocks (i.e. functional blocks and checkers) are embedded. In order to check the self-checking properties of such blocks one needs to know the set of vectors they receive from the blocks feeding their inputs (i.e. the code word output spaces of the source blocks). In a complex system the computation of the output spaces by means of exhaustive simulation of the system is intractable. The paper presents a tool which performs this computation with low CPU time.<
