2.1.6 Command Line Execution Modes
MOTLoad utilities such as help always execute in the foreground. MOTLoad tests can be
executed in the foreground (sequentially) or in the background (concurrently) as background
tasks.
Note Not all tests can execute in background mode. As an example, cache tests must run in
the foreground.
When a sequential test starts executing in the foreground, no new MOTLoad tests can execute
until the current test running in the foreground is complete. This does not apply to background
tests.
Example:
MOTLoad>
testRam
In concurrent test mode, each test gets a time sliced share of the CPU execution time. The
amount of user control over the background task time slicing operations is determined by the
underlying OS. The operator specifies concurrent test execution by ending the test command
line with the ampersand (&) character (prior to the carriage-return). The MOTLoad command
prompt reappears after a concurrent test is started.
Example:
MOTLoad>
testRam &
