Test Data Compression Scheme For Fast Search Best Rational Approximate Fraction, Haifeng Wu, Wenfa Zhan, Yifei Cheng

Journal of System Simulation

Abstract: Rapid growth of test data volume becomes a major factor for test time and manufacturing cost increasing. To reduce test data volume, a code-based compression scheme with fast search best rational approximate fraction is presented. The run-length data is converted into floating point numbers; and the equal best rational approximate fractions of floating point numbers is searched quickly; the appearing law of run-length data in the form of integer numerator and integer denominator is stored instead of storing run-length data directly. This scheme is compatible with traditional code-based methods. It also has simple compression and decompression protocol, good compression …
