- CPU cores that are identified as hyperthreads are now disabled by default, due to minimal performance benefits
- Fixed potential system hang caused by memory alignment issues when allocating 128-bit variables on the stack during the 128-bit random number sequence test (Test 12)
- Improved performance of the 128-bit random number sequence test (Test 12) by using SSE2 comparison intrinsics
- Improved performance of the row hammer test (Test 13) by increasing the default step size to 0x1000000 (16MB) for subsequent passes after the first pass. On the first pass, the default step size is 0x4000000 (64MB)
- Reduced test time of the row hammer test (Test 13) by using only a single offset bit to determine the row address pair, rather than cycle through all possible offset bits.
- Added 'ENABLEHT' config file parameter to enable/disable CPU cores identified as hyperthreads
- Added 'HAMMERSTEP' config file parameter to specify the step size for the next row pair to hammer in the row hammer test (Test 13). Increasing the step size reduces the memory test coverage, but will also decrease the test time. By default, the step size is 0x1000000 (16MB)
- Added several known baseboards to to a 'blacklist' of boards that have known issues when running in multiprocessor mode. If a blacklisted baseboard is detected, the Multiprocessor test is skipped during startup and the CPU selection mode is set to single.
- Fixed triggering of ECC error injection on Intel Skylake (Xeon E3 v5) chipset
- Added ECC detection and injection support for Intel KabyLake (Xeon E3 v6 family) chipsets
- Added ECC detection and injection support for Apollo Lake SoC (Atom E3900 Series) chipsets
- Added support for retrieving RAM SPD data on Intel Skylake-E chipsets
- Fixed issue with the test elapsed time having strange values when running in round robin or sequential CPU mode due to the timestamp counter not being synchronized on the CPU cores
