Abstract:
A method for identifying, based on instructions stored externally to a processor containing a cache memory, a functional portion of the cache memory, then loading cache test code into the functional portion of the cache memory from an external source, and executing the cache test code stored in the cache memory to test the cache memory on a cache-line-granular basis and store fault information.
