Abstract
A system and method for using resource pools and instruction pools for processor design verification and validation is presented. A test case generator organizes processor resources into resource pools using a resource pool mask. Next, the test case generator separates instructions into instruction pools based upon the resources that each instruction requires. The test case generator then creates a test case using one or more sub test cases by assigning a resource pool to each sub test case, identifying instruction pools that correspond the assigned test case, and building each sub test case using instructions included in the identified instruction pools.
