Optimizing SoC performance in-life with Embedded Analytics

Using on-chip monitors and debug structures, Tessent Embedded Analytics can dramatically simplify debug, validation, analytics, and optimization of complex SoCs. Such debug structures are often accessed by software executing on an external debugger via USB or IJTAG. For many use cases, embedded software running on target silicon can provide a superior alternative to extract even more insights out of on-chip monitors.

This paper explores how the Tessent Embedded Software Development Kit (SDK) can be used to build embedded software applications to orchestrate Tessent Embedded Analytics on-chip smart monitors. With the combination of embedded software and a complete on-chip monitoring solution, you can perform non-intrusive real-time logging, cache more data for later analysis, enable real-time performance analysis and anomaly detection.
