  • Device and method for tracing updated predicate values
    Patent number: 9934035
    Abstract: A data processing device for executing a program is described. The program comprises one or more instruction groups and one or more predicates, each instruction group comprising one or more instructions. The data processing device comprises a processing unit and a trace unit connected to or integrated in the processing unit. The trace unit generates a predicate trace for tracing the values of the one or more predicates. The processing unit executes, in each of a series of execution periods, one of the instruction groups and updated the values of none, one, or more of the predicates in dependence on the respective instruction group. The trace unit appends the updated values of the none, one, or more predicates to the predicate trace and does not append any non-updated values of the predicates. A method of reporting predicate values and a data carrier are also disclosed.
