Real time analysis and control for a multiprocessor system

A non-transitory computer-accessible storage medium having program instructions stored therein that are executable by a multi-processor array (MPA) to cause the MPA to:

• store application software in the storage medium;
• modify the application software to include testing code and thereby obtain modified application software, wherein the testing code comprises an auxiliary send statement associated with a first send statement;
• deploy the modified application software on first hardware resources of the MPA, wherein the MPA includes a plurality of processing elements, a plurality of memories, and an interconnection network communicatively coupling the plurality of processing elements to the plurality of memories, wherein the first hardware resources include a first subset of the plurality of processing elements;
• receive input data to stimulate a device-under-test (DUT);
• generate, by the modified application software, first data in the DUT based on the input data;
• execute, by the modified application software, the first send statement to provide the first data to a portion or function of the modified application software;
• execute, by the modified application software, the auxiliary send statement to provide a copy of at least a subset of the first data to a pin at an edge of the MPA using at least one second hardware resource of the MPA;
• and
• receive the copy of at least the subset of the first data by a software defined test bench to analyze operation of the DUT.

A system, comprising:

• a multi-processor array (MPA) comprising:
• a plurality of memories configured to store instructions;
• a plurality of processing elements;
• and
• an interconnection network communicatively coupling the plurality of processing elements to the plurality of memories, wherein the plurality of processing elements is configured to receive the instructions and execute the instructions to cause the system to:
• store application software in the storage medium;
• modify the application software to include testing code and thereby obtain modified application software, wherein the testing code comprises an auxiliary send statement associated with a first send statement;
• deploy the modified application software on first hardware resources of the MPA, wherein the MPA, wherein the first hardware resources include a first subset of the plurality of processing elements;
• receive input data to stimulate a device-under-test (DUT);
• generate, by the modified application software, first data in the DUT based on the input data;
