fpuops.diag(8)  —  Kubota Pacfic Computer Inc. (November 1, 1988)

NAME

fpuops.diag − check correct result for scalar and vector floating point ops. 

DESCRIPTION

This test verifies that the floating point unit can perform all known scalar and vector arithmetic operations. 

DETAILS

None required. 

BOARDS THAT MUST BE INSTALLED

This test requires one CPU board, at least one memory board, and a known good I/O board for downloading the test.  If there is more than one CPU board installed, only that which is designated the boot master is tested. 

SPECIAL COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS

None

MENU ITEMS SPECIFIC TO THIS TEST

sPerform scalar tests

vPerform vector tests

allPerform both scalar and vector tests

INTERPRETING THE ERROR CODES

When this test reports an error, a customer can only determine that there is a problem with the CPU board and that is must be replaced.  For the factory test technician, the error reporting includes a line number of the source code for the verilog testing.  The source code must be examined to determine what particular cicuit was under test at the time the error was reported.
