Abstract: Method, system and computer program product for verifying the address generation, address generation interlocks, and address generation bypassing controls in a CPU. An exemplary embodiment includes a verification method in a processor, the method including propagating a first set general purpose register values from a first instruction to a second instruction, wherein the simulation monitor is coupled to a first stage of the instruction pipeline, and wherein the first set of general purpose register values are stored in a simulation instruction object, selecting a second set of general purpose register values, updating the first set of general purpose register values with the second set of general purpose register values and placing the second set of general purpose register values on a bus.

Abstract: The generation and selection of addresses to be employed in a verification environment are tightly coupled to ensure that the addresses a user desires to be selected have been generated. Addresses are generated based on one or more defined selection attributes. The generated addresses are maintained in a database structure that also includes any attributes associated with the addresses. At least one address is selected from the database structure via a filter and forwarded to a component under test.
