Abstract
A computing device and a method of performing crash analysis is provided. Each compute unit of an accelerated processor is configured to execute an application in a crash analysis operation mode, different from a normal operation mode, by executing a single instruction in isolation from any other instruction such that execution of the single instruction is completed prior to beginning execution of any of the other instructions. Examples of selectable crash analysis operation modes include a first mode in which execution of each memory instruction is completed prior to beginning execution of a next instruction, a second mode in which execution of each ALU instruction is completed prior to beginning execution of a next instruction, and a third mode in which execution of both memory and ALU instructions are completed prior to beginning execution of a next instruction.
