System-level testing approach in multi-computer systems inparticular hypercube is the subject studied in this paper. An n-dimensional hypercube multi-computer system, or an n-cube for short, contains 2n processors each of which is a self-containedcomputer with its own local memory. Each processor is assigned a unique n-bit address

VHDL is a programming language thatallows an individual to define how a piece of hardware behaves. This language was developedfirst by US military and became IEEE standard in 1987. It was updated in 1993 and is knowntoday as "IEEE standard 1076 1993". The complexity of ASIC and FPGA designs has caused anincrease in the use of hardware description languages such as VHDL. As a result, students mustlearn
