Data processing network for data processing

A debugging system for analyzing a data processing performance of a data processing system, wherein the data processing system includes (I) a first data processing module, wherein the first data processing module is configured to:

• (i) perform a sequence of data processing steps that each transforms respective input data to output data;
• and (ii) generate, for each of the sequence of steps the first data processing module performs, a respective first control parameter indicative of the performance of that respective step;
• (II) a second data processing module, wherein the second data processing module is configured to:
• (i) perform an identical sequence of data processing steps as the first data processing module using identical input data as the input data used by the first data processing module;
• and (ii) generate, for each of the sequence of steps the second data processing module performs, a respective second control parameter indicative of the performance of that respective step;
• (III) a synchronizer, wherein the synchronizer is configured to:
• (i) receive the first control parameters and the second control parameters;
• (ii) compare the first control parameters with the second control parameters to determine which of (a) the received first control parameters and (b) the received second control parameters are associated with corresponding ones of the steps performed, respectively, by the first and second data processing modules;
• and (iii) based on results of the comparison, form tuples that each contains, and associates with each other, a respective subset of data from the first control parameters and a respective subset of data from the second control parameters;
• and (IV) a recording module, wherein the recording module is configured to (i) receive the tuples formed by the synchronizer and (ii) when a debug mode of the data processing system is activate, store the tuples as debug data indicative of a data processing performance, by the first and second data processing modules, during their respective executions of individual steps of the sequence of steps, the debugging system comprising:
• debugging data processing modules configured to replicate the sequence of data processing steps performed by the first and second data processing modules of the data processing system;
• an import module configured to import the debug data stored by the recording module of the data processing system;
• and
• a processor arrangement that includes at least one processor, wherein the processor arrangement is configured to initiate the replicated data processing based on with the imported debug data.
