Abstract
A method, apparatus, and computer instructions for testing hardware in a data processing system having multiple partitions. A monitor process in a first partition assigned to a first processor is initialized. A random code generation process in a second partition associated with a second processor is initialized. The random code generation process generates instructions and executes the instructions to test the second processor. The monitor process monitors the random code generation process and resets the second processor if the random code generation process fails.
