    Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure involve an apparatus and/or method for synchronizing at least one newly activated processor with at least one previously running processor. Each processor is configured to generate a heartbeat and operate according to a STICK. When a previously deactivated processor is added, the heartbeat of each active processor is reset and the current STICK is transmitted to the newly activated processor on the next heartbeat. The newly activated processor may then add the heartbeat period to the acquired STICK and begin incrementing the STICK and normal operation after the next heartbeat.

    Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with at-speed testing of static random access memory (SRAM) are described. In one embodiment, a method includes loading, into a multi-stage pipeline of memory devices, a control pattern for testing a static random access memory (SRAM). The SRAM is tested by generating a test input that is based, at least in part, on the control pattern from the multi-stage pipeline of flip-flops. The test input is provided to the SRAM over a series of clock cycles that are at a core clock speed of the SRAM.
