An example processor that includes a decoder, an execution circuit, a counter, and a last branch recorder (LBR) register. The decoder may decode a branch instruction for a program. The execution circuit may be coupled to the decoder, where the execution circuit may execute the branch instruction. The counter may be coupled to the execution circuit, where the counter may store a cycle count. The LBR register coupled to the execution circuit, where the LBR register may include a counter field to store a first value of the counter when the branch instruction is executed and a type field to store type information indicating a type of the branch instruction.

The waveform compiler methodology employs a top-down system decomposition coupled with component based design development to capture a user design in a series of parameterized models. A user selects components from a library,to create a data flow of the application,and a block diagram of a target architecture,A partitioning,of the application model,to the architecture model,is specified as a mapping. The behavior,is specified as state-event-action,and/or scenario diagrams,The design is reduced to a software/programmable hardware executable form,using software techniques such as component concatenation,mapping,language compilation, parsing,regrouping,inlining,transformations, and optimization.
