Abstract
Exemplary embodiments provide an interactive tool that allows users to design and evaluate storage mechanisms while program code executes. For example, an embodiment uses compact histogram density scales (CHDS's) to display count information for bins making up the storage mechanism (e.g., a register). The user can determine whether counts are within a desirable range, exceeding an overflow threshold, or exceeding an underflow threshold for a bin. Embodiments allow the user to observe overflow/underflow thresholds, signedness, word lengths, fraction lengths, etc., while program code that interacts with the register executes.
