A script that generates the validations for CS4290 Project 3 as quickly as possible. If a diff actually prints something, then that validation failed.

validate.py

import os, threading

class ThreadClass(threading.Thread):
	def __init__(self, p, c):
		super(ThreadClass, self).__init__()
		self.p = p
		self.c = c

	def run(self):
		trace_location = "traces/" + self.c + "proc_validation"
		file_name = "validation/" + self.p + "_" + self.c
		os.system("./sim_trace -t " + trace_location+ " -p" + self.p + " 2> " + file_name)
		os.system("diff " + trace_location + "/"+ self.p + "_validation.txt " + file_name)
		print file_name + " done!"
		

protocols = ["MI", "MSI", "MOSI", "MESI", "MOESI", "MOESIF"]
cores = ["4", "8", "16"]

os.system("rm validation/*;")
for p in protocols:
	for c in cores:
		t = ThreadClass(p, c)
		t.start()

Yay :) someone has too much free time on their hands :-P
