Abstract
An execution circuit is configured to input data units, perform unit operations on the data units, and register results of the unit operations in response to oscillations of a clock signal. A control circuit controls activation and deactivation of the unit operations. A debug circuit inputs, in parallel with input of the data units to the execution circuit, at least one of the data unit or one or more attributes associated with the data unit. The debug circuit evaluates, upon each input of the at least one of the data unit or the one or more attributes, a breakpoint condition based on the at least one of the data unit or the one or more attributes while the clock signal oscillates. In response to evaluation of the breakpoint condition indicating a break, the debug circuit stops oscillations of the clock signal to the execution circuit.
