Abstract
Disclosed approaches monitor states of a plurality of sets of a plurality of handshake signals. Each set of handshake signals is associated with a respective one sub-circuit of a plurality of sub-circuits. For each sub-circuit, a beginning of an iteration by the sub-circuit is detected based on states of the plurality of handshake signals of the set associated with the sub-circuit. A graphics object is generated in response to detecting the beginning of the iteration. The graphics object is displayed on a display device and overlaid on a timeline associated with the sub-circuit. The graphics object has a bound that corresponds to the beginning of the iteration. The end of the iteration is detected based on the states of the associated set of handshake signals, and the graphics object is bounded on the timeline to indicate the end of the iteration.
