An adaptive memory system comprising a core memory, utilizing externally generated read strobe pulses; an exerciser which writes a test pattern into the memory, and compares the result with a predetermined desired performance of the memory; a strobe generator which controls the exerciser and the memory system, performs a failure analysis on the results of the testing by the exerciser and determines the optimum timing of the read strobe pulses supplied to the memory; and interface gating, used to tie the memory to equipment outside the memory system during its normal mode of operation, or to the exerciser during its adaptive mode of operation. |
