Abstract
An apparatus includes a processor for executing instructions at runtime and instructions for dynamically compiling the set of instructions executing at runtime. A memory device stores the instructions to be executed and the dynamic compiling instructions. A memory device serves as a trace buffer used to store traces during formation during the dynamic compiling. The dynamic compiling instructions includes a next-executing-cycle (N-E-C) trace selection process for forming traces for the instructions executing at runtime. The N-E-C trace selection process continues through an existing trace-head when forming traces without terminating a recording of a current trace if an existing trace-head is encountered.
