Abstract
An integrated circuit is provided with a tracing mechanism that is responsive to data access misses to insert a data place holder within a stream of trace data. When the missed data is later returned, this is inserted into the stream of traced data as a later data value. Analysis of the stream trace data may subsequently correlate between instructions that gave rise to data misses and the late data that was subsequently returned.
