Abstract: A data processing apparatus is provided which allows easy identification of a correspondence relationship between a trace packet and a performance packet. The data processing apparatus includes: a measurement trigger generation unit that generates a measurement trigger; a performance monitor unit that measures a performance measurement event collected from a central processing unit (CPU) and outputs a measurement value; and a CPU trace unit that generates a trace packet sequence of trace information including an operation record of the CPU. Upon receipt of the measurement trigger, the performance monitor unit starts or ends measurement of performance metrics or outputs the measurement value, while, upon receipt of the measurement trigger, the CPU trace unit generates a trigger packet indicating generation of the measurement trigger and inserts the trigger packet, at a position corresponding to timing with which the measurement trigger is generated, into the trace packet sequence.

Abstract: A prefetch processing apparatus includes a central-processing-unit monitor unit that monitors processing states of the central processing unit in association with time elapsed from start time of executing a program. A cache-miss-data address obtaining unit obtains cache-miss-data addresses in association with the time elapsed from the start time of executing the program, and a cycle determining unit determines a cycle of time required for executing the program. An identifying unit identifies a prefetch position in a cycle in which a prefetch-target address is to be prefetched by associating the cycle determined by the cycle determining unit with the cache-miss data addresses obtained by the cache-miss-data address obtaining unit. The prefetch-target address is an address of data on which prefetch processing is to be performed.

Abstract: A system for obtaining performance data for different performance events includes a first application monitoring performance of a second application executing on a computing system. The first application identifies the type of event to be measured with respect to the second application, issues a first system call identifying the type of event, receives an identifier corresponding to the event type, and causes the second application to begin execution. After the execution of the second application is completed, the first application issues a second system call including the identifier corresponding to the event type, and receives a value of a hardware counter corresponding to the event type from an operating system.

Abstract: An efficient, cycle-accurate processor execution simulator models a target processor by executing a program execution image comprising instructions having run-time dependencies resolved by execution on an existing processor compatible with the target processor. The instructions may have been executed upon a processor in an I/O environment too complex to model. In one embodiment, the simulator executes instructions that were directly executed on a processor. In another embodiment, a markup engine alters a compiled program image, with reference to instructions executed on a processor, to remove run-time dependencies. The marked up program image is then executed by the simulator. The processor execution simulator includes an update engine operative to cycle-accurately simulate instruction execution, and a communication engine operative to model each communication bus of the target processor.
