Abstract

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques for hardware-driven call stack attribution. The apparatuses, systems, and techniques include generating and updating call stacks within a processing device during execution of an application. In particular, a branch identifier associated with an instruction being executed by an execution thread is determined. A call stack identifier of the execution thread executing the instruction is identified. The call stack identifier of the execution thread is updated based on the identified call stack identifier of the execution thread and the branch identifier.
