CHAPTER 2  DEPENDENCE FUNCTIONS

■

Measures cycle count between the start and stop of program execution.

In this emulator debugger, the measurement is performed by the cycle counter. The following shows the
features of the cycle counter.

Significant bits : 56 bits

Maximum measurement cycle count : 72,057,594,037,927,935 cycles

The measurement is performed whenever a program is executed, and the measurement result displays the

following two values:

•

Number of cycles spent on the previous program execution

•

Total number of cycles executed since the previous clearing

■

Either of the following methods can be used to display the measurement results.

•

Display by dialog

The results appear in the time measurement dialog, which can be displayed by selecting [Debug] - [Time
Measurement] menu.

For details, refer to Section "4.6.8 Time Measurement" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Operation Manual".

•

Display by command

Enter the SHOW TIMER command in the command window.

For details, refer to Section "4.27 SHOW TIMER" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Command Reference Manual".

■

Either of the following methods can be used to clear the measurement results.

•

Clearing by dialog

Enter the CLEAR TIMER command in the command window.

For details, refer to Section "4.28 CLEAR TIMER" in "SOFTUNE Workbench Command Reference Manual".

Note:

The measured number of execution cycles is added about ten extra cycles per execution. If the
execution cycle is measured, execute many instructions continuously in order to minimize the effect of
error.
