Abstract

A computer readable storage medium includes executable instructions to characterize a coherency controller. The executable instructions define ports to receive processor trace information from a set of processors. The processor trace information from each processor includes a processor identity and a condensed coherence indicator. Circuitry produces a trace stream with trace metrics and condensed coherence indicators.
