Abstract: Implementing processor instrumentation in a processor pipeline includes determining a pipeline depth of each micro-operator for an instruction group used in an execution phase of the processor pipeline. The pipeline depth corresponds with a duration of execution, each micro-operator performs a type of functional operation in the execution phase, and the instruction group includes all the micro-operators required for the execution phase. A targeted micro-operator is identified for which the processor instrumentation is being performed, and the pipeline depth corresponding with the targeted micro-operator is used to determine and report a performance of the targeted micro-operator as part of the processor instrumentation. Problems indicated by the processor instrumentation are diagnosed and addressed based on the performance of the targeted micro-operator.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to a pedal system having a cuff for retaining a foot or footwear at the pedal in a manner that supports different sizes and form factors of feet or footwear. The pedal system has a rod secured to a pedal in a rotatable manner and the cuff is coupled to the rod. A lever may be coupled to the rod in a manner where engagement of the lever by the user's foot or footwear affects the rod and thus, a position of the cuff relative to the user's foot or footwear. The lever and the cuff may retain the user's foot or footwear at the pedal in an engaged mode and release the user's foot or footwear from the top surface in a disengaged mode. The pedal system is switchable between the engaged mode and the disengaged mode.
