Title: Arnaud Dehamel: Computer-System Debugging Innovation.

Introduction

Arnaud Dehamel is an inventor associated with Grenoble, France, and STMicroelectronics. His recorded patent work concerns computer-system debugging and the coordination of instruction execution with program tracking.

Latest Patents

Dehamel is associated with 1 patent, titled “Computer System with Debug Facility.” The invention describes a computer system that executes instructions carrying guard indicators through pipelined execution units. It uses circuitry to resolve guard values and determine whether an instruction proceeds through the pipeline. An emulator’s watch circuitry monitors selected instructions, while synchronizing circuitry correlates each instruction’s guard resolution with its program count.

Career Highlights

The patent reflects work on processor architecture and debugging tools, particularly the challenge of tracking selected instructions as they move through a pipeline. Dehamel’s association with STMicroelectronics places this work in the context of semiconductor and computer-system development.

Collaborations

Isabelle Sename and Laurent Wojcieszak are identified as Dehamel’s coworkers. The available information does not specify their roles in the patent or whether they collaborated on it.

Conclusion

Arnaud Dehamel’s recorded invention focuses on improving visibility into pipelined instruction execution by linking debug monitoring with guard resolution and program-count tracking.
