  • Processor system and method for monitoring processors
    Patent number: 10540218
    Abstract: A processor system includes an application processor, which has a processor core and hardware performance counters, and a monitoring processor, which is coupled to the application processor by a data transmission interface. The monitoring processor has a look-up table, in which target performance profiles of the progression over time of performance events of the hardware performance counters are stored for an application which is to be executed on the application processor and monitored. The monitoring processor has an evaluating logic which is linked to the look-up table and is configured to record the progression over time of performance events of the hardware performance counters during the execution of the application to be monitored on the application processor and to compare the progression with the target performance profiles stored in the look-up table.
