Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for random generation of recoverable errors in the generated instruction stream for post-silicon validation testing. The intentional raising and handling of exceptions in post-silicon validation exercisers randomly creates recoverable errors in a generated instruction test stream. Multiple exceptions may be raised either in a single instruction or in multiple instructions, while the present instruction is permitted to fully execute. The errors responsible for raising the exceptions are automatically repaired.

Recoverable exceptions generation and handling for post-silicon validation

A method, computer program product, and computer system for physical memory allocation of a computer system, the method including collecting computer system architecture specifications, a configuration, and user requirements, identifying a plurality of memory intervals to be allocated, based on the computer system architecture specification, the configuration, and the user requirements, grouping memory intervals into a plurality of color groups, wherein each memory interval within each of the plurality of color groups comprise identical memory attributes, dividing memory into sets of memory segments, wherein each set of memory segment is assigned a color of the plurality of color groups, allocating a memory interval of the plurality of memory intervals within the set of memory segments of corresponding color, and selecting a page size for a translation of a memory interval of the plurality of memory intervals, depending upon the allocation of the memory interval and the sets of memory segments.
