HP 64708A Software Performance Analyzer with the HP B1487A

The HP Software Performance Analyzer provides real-time measurements of embedded code execution at the source or assembly level. This analysis is necessary for, debug of time-critical system software, tuning the performance of time-sensitive systems, verification of code execution to specified timing requirements, measurement and documentation of embedded system performance characteristics, comparison of design alternatives based on performance

Program activity measurements rapidly isolate functions that are performance bottlenecks Memory & I/O measurements identify areas that are candidates for optimization Module duration measurements provide statistics on the execution times of functions, including minimum/maximum times for best/worse case execution time Interval duration measurements provide execution statistics on events defined by any two address points Displays data in the form of histograms or data tables. Histograms show cumulative time, number of calls, or number of bus cycles. Data table include number of calls, number of bus cycles, cumulative, maximum, minimum, mean, and standard deviation times. Compatibility Operates with emulators that use 25 MHz emulation bus analyzers, HP 64703A, 64704A, 64706A Characteristics Measurement Modes: Program activity Memory and I/O activity Function duration including calls Function duration excluding calls Interval durations Maximum Bus Rate: 25 MHz Timing Clock Rate: 50 MHz (20ns) Timing Resolution: +/- 40 ns Maximum Continuous Measurement Time: 24 days Trigger Duration Range: 1 us to 2 seconds Trigger Duration Resolution: 1 us +/- 160 ns Emulator Trigger Delay: approx. 500 ns Defined Events: 1000 Expanded Events: 10 Expanded Time Ranges: 10 Enable/Disable Feature: Enable/Disable Pairs: One Enable: Available in all Measurements Disable: Available in Interval/Function Duration Measurements Activity Measurements (sampled) Measured Events: 254 Maximum Continuous Event Rate: 25 MHz Sampling Period: 2.5 ms per active event Scanning Period: 5.0 ms + (2.5 ms * number of events) Interval Duration Measurements: (real-time data collection; nonsampled) Measured Events: 84 Maximum Continuous Event Rate: 80 us for entry/exit pair [Note 1] Minimum Continuous Event Rate: none Maximum Number of Events at Burst Rate of 25 MHz: approx. 500 Function Duration Measurements: (real-time data collection; nonsampled) Measured Events: 84 Maximum Continuous Event Rate: 100 us for entry/exit pair [Note 1 ] Minimum Continuous Event rate: 1.25 s for entry or exit event Maximum Number of Events at Burst Rate of 25 MHz: approx. 500 Histogram Types Available Time, Calls, Cycles Table Data Available Activity: Cumulative Cycles, Cumulative Time, Time %, Mean Time Stdv Time, Time/Cycle Duration: Cumulative Calls, Cumulative Time, Time %, Max Time, Min Time, Mean Time, Stdv Time Sorting Orders Available Time, Calls, Cycles, Address, Alphabetical, Defined order Power Requirements Power supplied by card cage HP 64708A Software Performance Analyzer HP B1487A SW Performance Analysis Hosted User Interface Opt UBX Single User Lic - HP 9000 Series 300/400 Opt AAX Media and Doc - HP 9000 Series 300/400 Opt UBY Single User Lic - HP 9000 Series 700 Opt AAY Media and Doc - HP 9000 Series 700 Opt UBX Single User Lic - Sun SPARCsystems Opt AAK Media and Doc - Sun SPARCsystems HP Software Performance Analyzer Model 64708A/B1487A HP 64798C Emulator for the Motorola 68302 Microprocessor If you do not have the Adobe Acrobat Reader necessary for viewing this documentation, download your Free Acrobat Reader now.
