APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THREAD PROGRESS TRACKING USING DETERMINISTIC PROGRESS INDEX

摘要

provides methods and apparatus for measuring the progress of the performance or applications that perform data processing and specific function in the computer environment using a micro-architecture. Thread progress tracking (Thread Progress Tracking) system is deterministic with a selection unit, at least, perform way a constant cycle from one instruction to the configuration threads for selecting at least one of the thread (Thread) configuring the application ( deterministic) method or a a non-constant delay cycle having a non-deterministic (non-deterministic) method that the group determining section by determining based on the set criteria and the instruction word to be performed in the deterministic manner except the instructions performed by the non-deterministic manner About it includes decisive progress counter (counter deterministic progress, DPC) for generating a decisive progress index (deterministic progress index, DPI). ;
