The Hybrid Program Measurement Device: Design and Capabilities

Abstract

External hardware may be employed to monitor an executing computer program at the instruction level without interfering with that execution in any way. Software may be used to control the external hardware, making the measurement process far simpler and easier to use. The Hybrid Program Measurement Device is useful for program debugging and optimization. Its capabilities and design are described in this MTR, together with its implications and some recommendations for future work.
