Abstract
An electronic tracing process includes packing both stall (215) and reason (219) data into a single high priority timing information stream. An integrated circuit includes an electronic processor (110), and a tracing circuit (120) operable to pack both stall and events data into a single timing information stream. Other circuits, processes and systems are also disclosed.
Claims1
An electronic tracing process comprising:
- A) packing both stall and reason data into a single high priority timing information stream, the timing information stream having an instruction advance and is divisible by synchronization windows;
- and
- B) in case a reason of stall datum in a previous synchronization window is encoded in a next synchronization window, introducing a timing synchronization to indicate that the reason of stall datum is located in the next synchronization window.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
