Abstract
A trace module has monitoring circuitry for monitoring processing of instructions by processing circuitry, and trace output circuitry for outputting a sequence of elements indicative of outcomes of the processing of instructions by the processing circuitry. The trace module supports output of a commit window move element indicating that a commit window, representing a portion of the trace stream comprising at least one speculative element representing at least one speculatively executed instruction, should move while the oldest remaining speculative element of the trace stream remains uncommitted. This can be useful for tracing of transactional memory functionality within program code.
