Abstract:
A first event source generates a first indication of a first event which has occurred in the first event source, the first indication being one of a predefined set of indications corresponding to a plurality of event types. A second event source generates a second indication of a second event which has occurred in the second event source, the second indication being one of the predefined set of indications corresponding to the plurality of event types. First event selection circuitry responds to the first indication matching a selected event type of the plurality of event types to generate a first count signal and second event selection circuitry responds to the second indication matching the selected event type of the plurality of event types to generate a second count signal. Count circuitry increments a counter in response to either the first count signal or the second count signal.
