3 Tests and Diagnostics 3.6 Memory Test Subtest 05 Subtest 06 L2 Cache Memory To test the L2 cache memory, a pass-through write-read comparison of '5A' data is run repeatedly to the test area ('7000':'Program' size to '7000':'7FFF' (32 KB)) to check the hit-miss ratio (on/off status) for L2 cache memory. Number of misses < Number of hits → OK Number of misses ≥ Number of hits → Fail Stress Data (from 1MB to the maximum MB) is written from the 16KB write buffer to the 16KB read buffer and compared the data in the buffers. The read buffer starts from 0001 and the comparison is continued with the following read buffer addresses: 0001, 0003, 0005, 0007, 0009, 000b, 000d and 000f. 3-16 Satellite A50/TECRA A2 Maintenance Manual (960-478)
