Abstract
A data processing system comprises compile time logic, runtime logic, a control bus, and instrumentation units operatively coupled to processing units of an array. The compile time logic is configured to generate configuration files for a dataflow graph. The runtime logic is configured to execute the configuration files on the array, and to trigger start and stop events, as defined by the configuration files, in response to implementation of compute and memory operations of the dataflow graph on the array. A control bus is configured to form event routes in the array. The instrumentation units have inputs and outputs connected to the control bus and to the processing units. The instrumentation units are configured to consume the start events on the inputs and start counting clock cycles, consume the stop events on the inputs and stop counting the clock cycles, and report the counted clock cycles on the outputs.
