Generic State Equation fro Dual Core Test Pattern

Dual-core multiprocessing designs enable Intel to increase computing performance in an efficient way while keeping the new processor within reasonable power consumption and heat-generation restrictions. State equation is a piece of code that is written in C++. It contains product specific bus decoding logic and understands how to assign data/timing per pin accordingly during test pattern translation. This paper describes the generic design methodology for SE that supports single core, dual-processor testing methodology while remaining extensible enough to support multi-processor design additions in future. This effort has helped enable Intel´s first successful dual core multiprocessing CPU.
