Abstract

A method and apparatus for verifying memory coherency of a simulated computer system. A verification logic unit is used for detecting the issuance of load and store instructions from the simulated system. Targets (registers or memory locations) representing the detected instructions are then stored in queues, and marked (colored) as not having been executed. After a detected instruction has been executed and completed, the corresponding target in the queue is marked as being completed. During every clock cycle of the apparatus, the verification logic unit monitors the queues for entries (Targets) marked as completed, which are then discarded.
