摘要： An asymmetric multiprocessor apparatus 2 is provided in which respective slave diagnostic units 20, 22, 24 are associated with corresponding execution mechanisms 6, 8, 10. A master diagnostic unit 26 tracks the migration of thread execution between the different execution mechanisms 6, 8, 10 so that the execution of a given thread can be followed by the diagnostic mechanisms 20, 22, 24, 26 and this information provided to the programmer. The execution mechanisms 6, 8, 10 can be diverse such as a general purpose processor 6, a DMA unit 12, a coprocessor, an VLIW processor, a digital signal processor 8 and a hardware accelerator 10. The asymmetric multiprocessor apparatus 2 will also typically include an asymmetric memory hierarchy such as including two or more of a global memory, a shared memory 16, a private memory 18 and a cache memory 14.

摘要： A diagnostic method is described for generating diagnostic data relating to processing of an instruction stream, wherein said instruction stream has been compiled from a source instruction stream to include multiple threads, said method comprising the steps of: (i) initiating a diagnostic procedure in which at least a portion of said instruction stream is executed; (ii) controlling a scheduling order for executing instructions within said at least a portion of said instruction stream to cause execution of a sequence of thread portions, said sequence being determined in response to one or more rules, at least one of said rules defining an order of execution of said thread portions to follow an order of said source instruction stream. In this way, the diagnostic method can generate a debug view of a parallelised program which is the same as, or at least similar to, a debug view which would be provided when debugging the original non-parallelised program.

摘要： An integrated circuit 2 is provided with a data source 6 in the form of a processor executing program instructions connected via a bus interconnect 16 to a trace output device 8. The trace output device 8 is memory mapped. Different memory addresses that are mapped to the trace output device 8 are associated with different priority levels. Trace data written to at least one memory address has a first level of priority in which it is either accepted or the transfer is stalled until the data can be processed by the trace output device 8. Another level of priority associated with a different memory address is such that the data is always accepted but is discarded if the trace output device 8 does not have the ability to process, e.g. store that data at that time.

摘要： A data processing apparatus is provided having a hierarchy of layers comprising at least two data processing layers, each data processing layer configured to receive data and to generate processed data for passing to a next lower layer in said hierarchy, according to a protocol specific to that data processing layer. Each data processing layer is configured intermittently to add synchronization information to its processed data, the synchronization information providing semantic information required to interpret the processed data. Each data processing layer is further configured to output its synchronization information in response to a synchronization request signal received from a lower layer in said hierarchy, and at least one data processing layer is configured, when outputting its synchronization information, to issue its synchronization request signal to a higher layer in the hierarchy.
