Abstract
An efficient pipeline debug statistics system and method are described. In one embodiment, an efficient pipeline debug is utilized in a graphics processing pipeline of a handheld device. In one embodiment, a pipeline debug statistics system includes a plurality of pipeline stages with probe points, a central statistic component, and a debug control component. The plurality of pipeline stages with probe points perform pipeline operations. The central statistic block gathers information from the probe points. The debug control component directs the gathering of information from the probe points. In one exemplary implementation, debug control component can direct gathering of information at a variety of levels and abstraction.
