CPU Diagnostic
Posted: Wed Jul 31, 2002 11:02 pm
Hi ALL,
I just want to write a CPU diagnostic program.
1. What are the tests has to be implemented for minimal diagnostic?
2. Is there any chance of particular hardware part getting failed?
( Like Adder, Floating point unit, Branch Prediction Logic)
3. How to test the differnt execution units of a Superscalar processor
like Pentium?
4. Is it necessary to test all the x86 instructions supported by
the processor?
Thanks In Advance
