6 Function: Test the ability of the DPS8M CPU and SCU interface to
7 selectively clear CACHE when another active unit writes
8 into main memory. As an active function return the results
9 of the test see NOTE.

11 Arguments:
12 CPU_STR
13 This is a character string of cpus to use for testing. At
14 least two cpus are required, and one must be a DPS8M. The
15 default is to select all the DPS8M cpus on the system, if
16 only one DPS8M cpu if found to be on_line then a L68 will be
17 used as the second processor. If There is only one cpu on
18 system, or there are no DPS8M cpus the test will not run.

21 Control arguments:
22 -brief, -bf
23 Displays the brief form of errors and meters. This control
24 argument is the default.
25 -deactivation_count, -dc N
26 This is number N of times to deactivate the data segment
27 used. This deactivation is to change the location of the
28 test page in main memory. The default is 1% of the total
29 on_line pages.
30 -loop_count, -lc N
31 This is the number N of times to loop before deactivating
32 the segment. The default is 10.
33 -long, -lg
34 Displays the long form of errors and meters.
35 -meter
36 Displays the memory utilization percentages. If -long
37 argument has been given then the actual pages and address
38 lines are displayed.
39 -word_increment, -wi N
40 This is the word increment to use for the test page. N is a
41 decimal number greater that 0 and less that 1023. The
42 default is 52.

47 When invoked as an active function write_notify_test will return
48 the results of the test. If no erroes are found, the return
49 string is the word "passed". If the test detects errors then
50 the first word of the return string is "failed" followed by the
51 failing unit or units.
52 example:
53 failed CPU_A
54 or
55 failed CPU_A SCU_B
