Patent ID: 7661093

Claim:
A method for assessing relative performance of a video interface, comprising: executing a first module, the first module operative to load a sub-module; loading one or more sub-modules into the first module, each sub-module including code for assessing performance of the video interface, the code having a plurality of Boolean compiler parameters, and instructions associated with each Boolean compiler parameter; setting a value of one or more of the plurality of Boolean compiler parameters to a random value prior to compiling the code, the value of the one or more of the plurality of Boolean compiler parameters being set by the first module; determining whether to include or exclude instructions within the one or more sub-modules for compilation based on the random value of the Boolean compiler parameter associated with the instructions; compiling the code using the first module; communicating the compiled code to the video interface; executing the code by the video interface; collecting statistics concerning the performance of the video interface during execution of the code, the statistics collected by the first module.
