Infineon/iSYSTEM TriCore™ AURIX™ Webinar Series — Session IV – Cache Performance Analysis via Trace

An effi­cient uti­liza­tion of on-chip Cache Mem­o­ries can sig­nif­i­cant­ly enhance the per­for­mance of an embed­ded sys­tems. The Infi­neon Tri­Core™ AURIX™ micro­con­troller fea­tures both tight­ly-cou­pled pro­gram as well as data caches.

In this Webi­nar we first explain briefly how caches work in gen­er­al. We then pro­vide some basic guid­ance for how and when to use caches in AURIX™ devices.  In the sec­ond part of the Webi­nar we demon­strate how the Data Cache Per­for­mance can be ana­lyzed by means of trace, by mea­sur­ing para­me­ters such as func­tion run­time, but also para­me­ters such as Cache Hit/Miss ratios and Clocks per Instruc­tion (CPI) over time.

About iSYSTEM

We empow­er embed­ded soft­ware engi­neers to do it right!

Our Blue­Box Tech­nol­o­gy stands for fast and easy micro­con­troller access via any kind of debug inter­face. Com­ple­ment­ed with inte­grat­ed develop­ment and test soft­ware winIDEA/testIDEA it pro­vides access to on-tar­get tim­ing infor­ma­tion. Embed­ded soft­ware engi­neers can review appli­ca­tion tim­ing, ana­lyze real-time oper­at­ing sys­tem states, and under­take code cov­er­age to prove that their prod­ucts do what they were built to do.
