Abstract
A processor (,) in a data processing system (,) provides a DELAY instruction. Executing the DELAY instruction causes the processor (,) to a specified integral number of clock (,) cycles before continuing. Delays are guaranteed to have a linear relationship with a constant slope with the specified number of clock cycles. Incrementing the specified delay through a range allows exhaustive testing of interactions among multiple processors.
