Abstract
A method and system provide processing instructions in a multi-threaded process including the use of breakpoint instructions for generating debugging event(s). A debugging event is generated in response to the execution of breakpoint instructions and executes debugging instructions in response to the debugging event. The debugging instructions debug processing instructions in the multi-threaded processor by transitioning at least one or more threads into a debugging mode. A debugging return is generated for reporting the executing debugging instructions in the subset of the threads of the multi-threaded processor.
