ABSTRACT:
Testing of shared memory (RAM) in a multiple processor computer system is achieved by partitioning the memory and allocating the memory portions to respective processors in the system. Each processor performs testing of its allocated memory portion simultaneously with the other processors in order to reduce the time required to complete the memory test.
