Abstract

The present invention discloses a hardware data transfer integrity testing module and a hardware data transfer integrity testing method of parallel processing through the use of a ringbuffer. An interruption service program writes data into the ring buffer. When a main application program is processing the data, the interruption service program is still working to receive data, therefore saving the time for data transferring and testing. The buffer space required for the testing is also decreased.
