    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for autonomous functional testing of a processor are described. In one example, a processor includes a plurality of processor cores that are each coupled to a respective power management agent circuit; a cache shared by the plurality of processor cores; and a control register, that when set, causes: a save of a state of a first processor core of the plurality of processor cores to storage, a transfer of control of the first processor core to a power management agent circuit of the first processor core, isolation of the first processor core from the other of the plurality of processor cores by the power management agent circuit, performance of one or more functional tests from the cache on the first processor core caused by the power management agent circuit to generate a test result, removal of the isolation of the first processor core from the other of the plurality of processor cores by the power management agent circuit, and a transfer of the control by the power management agent circuit back to the first processor core.
