Abstract
A high speed program tracer providing compression using linear increment run length values, displacement values corresponding to discontinuities, and loop compression. A program count sequencer receives program count values from a processor, and outputs various program count values and signals to allow compression calculations to be made based upon linear increment run lengths, discontinuity detection, and detection of repeating instruction loops. Compression may be achieved using selected numbers of words to represent various compression values.
