ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for creating a multiprocessor verification environment. A Multiprocessor Test Generator (MPTG) generates a set of test cases in a Multiprocessor Test Language (MTL) format subject to constraints and enumeration controls in a test specification. An abstract system model of the machine under test is inputted to the Multiprocessor Test Generator. The Multiprocessor Test Generator (MPTG) receives the test specification and abstract system model, accesses a system specific database and generates test cases based on the constraints in the test specification in a Multiprocessor Test Language (MTL). The Multiprocessor Test Language (MTL) test cases are inputted to a Multiprocessor Test Executive (MPX) which controls the issuance of the test cases to a cache-coherent multiprocessor system, and monitors their completion in order to verify operation of the cache-coherent multiprocessor system.
