Abstract
An apparatus for detecting bugs in a logic-based processing device during post-silicon validation is disclosed. The apparatus includes a test bench and a Proactive Load and Check (PLC) hardware checker inserted within an uncore component of the logic-based processing device. The test bench includes a processor for converting an original test program to a modified test program for validating the functionalities of the logic-based processing device during post-silicon validation. The PLC hardware checker includes a controller, an address generator, a data register and a comparator.
