%X The testing time for a system-on-chip(SOC) largely depends on the design of test wrappers and the test access mechanism(TAM).Wrapper/TAM co-optimization is therefore necessary to minimize SOC testing time . In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to construct wrappers that reduce testing time for cores. We further propose a new approach for wrapper/TAM co-optimization based on two-dimensional rectangle packing. This approach considers the diagonal length of the rectangles to emphasize on both TAM widths required by a core and its corresponding testing time.
