Fixing design bugs and wrong wire connections in computer chips after they've been fabricated in silicon is a tedious, trial-and-error process that often costs ...

Computer scientists have developed a technique to speed up program debugging by automatically 'chipping' the software into smaller pieces so that bugs can be isolated more easily. The "Chipper" tools ...

The word syntax means the order of elements in a language sentence. The language can be a familiar one like English or a coding language. A syntax bug is one that involves typing mistakes and errors ...

If you have ever tried to debug optimized code, you probably realized that it can be a frustrating experience. Without optimizations, your debugger is a reliable assistant, precisely following every ...

JTAG (jay-tag) is one of the engineering acronyms that has been transformed into a noun, although arguably it is not so popular as RAM, or CPU. IEEE Std 1149.1-1990 IEEE Standard Test Access Port and ...

Microchip has upped the security of a family of PIC18 microcontrollers by adding a one-time disable to its programming and debugging interface. Called PDID (programming and debugging interface disable ...

Computer scientists at UC Davis have developed a technique to speed up program debugging by automatically "chipping" the software into smaller pieces so that bugs can be isolated more easily. Computer ...
