Abstract :
With software´s increasing complexity, providing efficient hardware support for software debugging is critical. Hardware support is necessary to observe and capture, with little or no overhead, the exact execution of a program. Providing this ability to developers will allow them to deterministically replay and debug an application to pin-point the root cause of a bug
