摘要: An apparatus and method for generating pseudo-random test instructions testing a microprocessor begins by providing an array of list structures (502 through 508). Each structure 508) contains instructions, discipline field (34), pick (42) biasing (36). A random is created using selection to determine which selected. The in the particular then used manner are selected from contained within structure. indicates how many be each determined via field. Once number equal value has been selected, another as until entire file computer fully generated.
