摘要:
An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from caches on different cache levels, at least some of the information from caches on different cache levels associated with a common address. The software also causes the processor to determine a difference between the information from caches on different cache levels associated with the common address and to provide the difference to a user of the software.

An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from circuit logic that is adapted to collect the information from caches on different cache levels. At least some of the information is from caches on different cache levels associated with a common address. The processor also displays the information by way of a graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI displays a portion of the information using a mark-up technique different from that used to display remaining portions of the information.
摘要:
An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from circuit logic that is adapted to collect the information from caches on different cache levels, the information associated with a common address. The software also causes the processor to provide the information to a user of the software. The information comprises cache level and cache type information associated with a particular cache from one of the different cache levels.
摘要:
An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from circuit logic that is adapted to collect the information from caches on different cache levels, at least some of the information from caches on different cache levels associated with a common address. The software also causes the processor to selectively bypass a portion of the information specified by a user of the software and to provide non-bypassed information to the user and not said bypassed portion.
摘要:
A method and system of inserting marker values used to correlate trace data as between processor cores. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are integrated circuit devices comprising a first processor core, a first data collection portion coupled to the first processor core and configured to gather data comprising addresses of instructions executed by the first processor core, a second processor core communicatively coupled to the first processor core, and a second data collection portion coupled to the first processor core and configured to gather data comprising addresses of instructions executed by the second processor core. The integrated circuit device is configured to insert marker values into the data of the first and second processor cores which allow correlation of the data such that contemporaneously executed instruction are identifiable.

An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from circuit logic that is adapted to collect the information from caches on different cache levels. At least some of the information from the caches is associated with a common address. The processor also provides the information to a user of the software.
摘要:
A method and system of identifying overlays used by a program. The overlays may be executable overlays (e.g., overlay programs and dynamically linked library programs), or the overlays may be data sets. Depending on the number of overlays and/or the type of information used to identify the overlays, an indication of the identity of the overlays may be written to a register (whose contents are inserted into the trace data stream), or the indication may comprise an entry in a log buffer and an index value written to the register (again whose contents are inserted into the trace data stream, and where the index value identifies the entry in the log buffer).
摘要:
An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive information from circuit logic that is adapted to collect the information from caches having a common cache level. The software also causes the processor to prioritize the caches having the common cache level such that the caches are displayable as having different cache levels.
摘要:
An information carrier medium containing software that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to receive input from a user of the software, the input comprising data and a cache identifier. The processor also transfers the data and cache identifier to a circuit logic that is adapted to write to caches in a cache system coupled to the circuit logic. The processor also causes the circuit logic to write the data to a cache in the cache system that corresponds to the cache identifier.
摘要:
A method and system of identifying overlays. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising executing a traced program on a target system (the traced program comprising a plurality of overlay programs), obtaining values indicative of which of the plurality of overlays of the traced program has executed on the target system, and displaying on a display device an indication of a proportion of an execution time on the processor of the target system dedicated to each of the plurality of overlay programs.
