发明名称 LOGIC ANALYZER FOR DETECTING HANGS
摘要 A microprocessor comprises a cache including a tag array; a tagpipe that arbitrates access to the tag array; and a logic analyzer for investigating a starvation, livelock, or deadlock condition. The logic analyzer, which comprises read logic coupled to the tagpipe, is configured to record snapshots of transactions to access the tag array.

主权项 1. A microprocessor comprising: a cache including a tag array; a tagpipe that arbitrates access to the tag array; and a logic analyzer for investigating a starvation, livelock, or deadlock condition; the logic analyzer comprising read logic coupled to the tagpipe; and the logic analyzer being configured to record snapshots of tagpipe arbs, wherein tagpipe arbs are transactions to access the tag array.
