    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein include apparatuses for improved testing between chips. In an embodiment, an apparatus comprises a plurality of transmit clusters on a first chip, where individual ones of the plurality of transmit clusters comprise a set of transmit lanes on the first chip. In an embodiment, a plurality of finite state machines (FSMs) are on the first chip, where individual ones of the plurality of transmit clusters comprise one of the plurality of FSMs. In an embodiment, a global transmit test generator is communicatively coupled to each of the set of transmit lanes on the first chip, and a global transmit expected response generator is communicatively coupled to each of the plurality of FSMs on the first chip.

    Abstract: Runtime memory BIST techniques are described herein. In one example, a system such as an SoC includes logic to schedule runtime testing of the memory that is non-destructive in multiple phases. Running testing of memory in multiple phases includes triggering a memory built-in self-test (BIST) testing of a subset of memory locations in a phase, where the processing logic is to pause access to the memory during the phase. The processing logic can resume access to the memory between testing phases. The next region of the memory can be tested in the phase that follows. This process can continue until the entire memory is tested, without requiring the system to be powered down.
