Abstract:
A pipelined processing device includes: a device controller configured to receive a request to perform an operation; a plurality of subcontrollers configured to receive at least one instruction associated with the operation, each of the plurality of subcontrollers including a counter configured to generate an active time value indicating at least a portion of a time taken to process the at least one instruction; a pipeline processor configured to receive and process the at least one instruction, the pipeline processor configured to receive the active time value; and a shared pipeline storage area configured to store the active time value for each of the plurality of subcontrollers.
