Abstract
A technique for producing a test executable in a computer. The technique involves forming multiple instruction streams. The technique further involves dividing the multiple instruction streams into portions, and generating a combined instruction stream having the portions interleaved. Additionally, the technique involves creating a test executable from the combined instruction stream. The test executable can be used for testing a simulated processor in a computer. In particular, the test executable is loaded. Then, the test executable is run through the simulated processor to generate processor results and through a reference model to generate reference results. The processor results and the reference results are compared to determine whether the simulated processor operates correctly.
