LUO Han-qing, LIANG Li-ping, YE Tian-chun. A Method Based on Configurable Random Test Generation for Multi-core Verification[J]. 2014, 31(1): 88-91.DOI:
As multi-core designs architectural complexity increases
the challenge of verification grows dramatically.Through analyzing the methods of simulation based verification of multi-core designs
in this paper we present a new method based on configurable random test generation to verify multi-core cache coherence.Configurable random test generation is used to generate specified instruction streams by controlling generation variables.The execution sequence of the instruction stream in multi-core design can be predicted exactly by using memory address accessing constraints and synchronization operation.Further more
the self-checking instruction groups are used to check the simulation results automatically.The experiment result shows that our method is efficient.
