Alignment Bias

Concept

Alignment Bias is a test-generation bias used in Genesys-Pro to influence instruction address selection toward specified alignment boundaries. In the cited Genesys-Pro example, a generic alignment bias is parameterized by alignment size and activation rate; for Load instructions it is set to 16 bytes with 100% activation, causing the generator to select a 16-byte aligned address.

Overview

Alignment Bias is a biasing constraint in the Genesys-Pro test-program generation framework that guides the generation engine to choose addresses satisfying a specified alignment requirement. The evidence describes it as an "alignment generic biasing constraint" whose parameters include an alignment size and an activation rate. In one example, the template sets an alignment size of 4 bytes with a 50% activation rate generally, while the Load instruction overrides this with a 16-byte alignment size and 100% activation rate. This causes the generation engine to select a 16-byte aligned address for the Load instruction. [Alignment-bias parameterization; Alignment-bias effect]
