Abstract
In order to fully verify the correctness of the design, random test generators are usually used in microprocessor verification. In this paper, a random cyclic testing system called RCTS is designed for multi-core and heterogeneous many-core processors. RCTS supports FPGA verification and can verify hardware logic and integrated implementation at design stage. RCTS also supports the verification of prototype chips. Especially in the system-level hardware-software co-verification, it can find hard-to-expose hardware design problems. RCTS can completely eliminate the need for architectural simulators to compare the results, so it can reduce the verification time and improve the verification efficiency.
