A fast on-chip profiler memory using a pipelined binary tree.

A fast on-chip profiler memory using a pipelined binary tree.

We introduce a novel memory architecture that can count the occurrences of patterns on a system's bus, a task known as profiling. Such profiling can serve a variety of purposes, like detecting a microprocessor's software hot spots or frequently used data values, which can be used to optimi...
