摘要:
We describe a systematic methodology for generating performance test cases for current generation microprocessors. Such test cases are used for: (a) validating the expected pipeline flow behavior and timing; and, (b) detecting and diagnosing performance bugs in the design. We cite examples of application to a real, superscalar processor in pre-and post-silicon stages of development.
