摘要:
A hardware circuit for verifying the execution of software is disclosed wherein the circuit compares a stored value with another value that is stored at at least one predetermined time in the course of program execution. If the two values correspond in some predetermined fashion then it is verified with a level of certainty that the program executed the program steps at or near the predetermined times.

In a data bus environment where a host device and a plurality of other devices are connected to the bus, the time required for the first and the last device to respond to a host request is measured. Once the time required between the first and the last response is known, then a read/write window time can be minimized thereby increasing the speed of communication over the data bus.
