In today's complex processors, specialized profiling and introspection hardware would be incredibly beneficial to software developers, but most proposals for its addition would increase the cost of every die manufactured. Modular, "snap-on" analysis hardware, stacked vertically with the processor die using a 3D interconnect, could be included with developer systems to assist in debugging and testing, and omitted from consumer systems to keep them economically competitive.
Index Terms:
