ABSTRACT:
Facilitating performance analysis for processing includes capturing a state of a processing unit and capturing a plurality of commands submitted to the processing unit for processing. Both the captured state and the captured plurality of commands are also saved. The saved state and commands can be used for analysis, such as by processing only a subset of the commands or processing a modified set of the commands.
