Exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium for testing a multi-core chip can be provided which can have and/or utilize a plurality of identical cores. This can be performed by comparing each core with as many as at least the number of spare cores plus 1 using a comparator; the number of comparators can equal the total number of cores multiplied by one-half the number of spare cores plus 1.
