Abstract
Provided are a method and system for loading test data into execution units in a graphics card to test the execution units. Test instructions are loaded into a cache in a graphics module comprising multiple execution units coupled to the cache on a bus during a design test mode. The cache instructions are concurrently transferred to an instruction queue of each execution unit to concurrently load the cache instructions into the instruction queues of the execution units. The execution units concurrently execute the cache instructions to fetch test instructions from the cache to load into memories of the execution units and execute during the design test mode.
