NIAnalyzer

Programmable NIA analyzer and debugger

Receives debug bus (NIA, val, advancing, count, tag bits) and counts various events:

  • compare NIA vs all block specs (start/end) to match one or more blocks, or none (also counted)

  • count 'advancing' (count is for multiple completions)

  • could count 'valid and not advancing' cycles (latency); may only make sense for single ops

  • tag bits could specify b/alu/rot/ld/st/spec/etc. or other info (icmiss, dcmiss, stall, byps, ...)

  • could also be able to generate signal(s) based on events (stall/interrupt core when full), event seen, etc.

  • gen-configurable

    • nia width, number of buckets, ...
    • local bram size
  • csr-configurable

    • buckets def
    • ctls (start/stop/rst/...)
  • wb interface to connect to uart/eth/mem
