The functional verification of multicore chips requires the generation of parallel test programs able to expose design errors and ensure high coverage in less time. Albeit the coherence hardware can scale gracefully as the number of cores grows, the

Multicore chips are expected to rely on coherent shared memory. Albeit the coherence hardware can scale gracefully, the protocol state space grows exponentially with core count. That is why design verification requires directed test generation (DTG)

This paper proposes a framework for functional verification of shared memory that relies on reusable coverage-driven directed test generation. It reveals a new mechanism to improve the quality of non-deterministic tests. The generator exploits genera
