Abstract: Technologies for execution trace with automatic event triggering include a computing device that includes an execution trace hub. The trace hub observes execution trace packets and determines whether the execution trace packets match one or more event trigger rules. If an execution packet matches an event trigger rule, the trace hub invokes an event callback. The event callback may be a predefined hardware function of the computing device or a software function. The trace hub may be configured with event trigger rules and associated event callbacks, for example by writing to one or more corresponding configuration space registers. In response to invoking the event callback, the computing device may, for example, output state information of the computing device to a data storage device, halt execution, activate a debug mode of the processor, or execute a software recovery function. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
