Abstract

A logging system comprising counting logic adapted to generate a raw timestamp. The system further comprises encoding logic coupled to the counting logic and adapted to insert a group of bits of the raw timestamp into a predetermined timestamp template to produce an encoded timestamp. The template is selected based on a position of a most significant bit of the raw timestamp.
