在生产过程结束时检查微处理器的核心是否已成为一个主要问题。完整的程序；以及硬件加速技术，通过自动生成汇编程序为合格的测试活动添加内容。进化核心增强功能的方法以及增强功能的有效性。
Checking if microprocessor cores are fully functional at the end of the productive process has become a major issue. Traditional functional approaches are not sufficient when considering modern designs. This paper describes new improvements for an existing evolutionary algorithm, called µGP, able to generate Turing-complete programs; these are exploited, along with hardware acceleration techniques, to add content to a qualifying test campaign by automatically generating assembly programs. The approach is suitable for medium-sized processor cores. The experimental evaluation performed on a SPARCv8 clearly shows the potentiality of the approach, and the effectiveness of the enhancements to the evolutionary core.
