Abstract
A data processor, such as a graphics processor, is disclosed. The data processor includes a set of one or more counters, and a control circuit that maintains a cache-like pool of corresponding entries. In response to a request for a counter, the control circuit may allocate an entry of the cache-like pool to thereby allocate a counter of the set.
