Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for execution scheduling of a program thread of an application program and executing the scheduled program thread on a data processing system. The method includes: providing an application program thread priority to a thread execution scheduler; selecting for execution the program thread from a plurality of program threads inserted into the thread execution queue, wherein the program thread is selected for execution using a round-robin selection scheme, and wherein the round-robin selection scheme selects the program thread based on an execution priority associated with the program thread bit; placing the program thread in a data processing execution queue within the data processing system; and removing the program thread from the thread execution queue after a successful execution of the program thread by the data processing system.

Abstract: A method and system for automating the creation of test cases for logic designs. A comprehensive set of bus transactions characterizing a bus architecture is provided to a test case designer in a user interface. The designer may enter inputs corresponding to a particular design-under-test (DUT) via the interface. The interface processes the inputs to automatically generate a configuration file corresponding to the particular DUT. The configuration file may be processed by a generator program to automatically generate a test case comprising one or more bus transactions customized to the particular DUT.
