Trace-based Performance Analysis
The performance measurement used
by TRACE32-PowerTrace/NEXUS is a
statistical process. To determine for
example which function or which mod-
ule uses the greatest proportion of the
total runtime the recording into the
trace memory is stopped briefly to
determine the current program counter
contents. This measurement has abso-
lutely no influence on the real-time
behaviour.
Code Coverage
It is also possible to perform a code
coverage analysis based on the com-
prehensive information from the trace
memory.
