ABSTRACT:
A system, method, and computer program product for observing and modifying activity in an actor processor are presented. An observer module is provided for observing a physical property of an actor processor. The observer module comprises a property-observing sensor for detecting and sampling a physical property of the actor processor and for generating an observation signal based on the physical property. The observer module further comprises an observer processor coupled with the property-observing sensor for receiving the observation signal, the observer processor operative to generate an observer output signal based on the observation signal. The observer module permits the observer processor to monitor the actor processor in a manner that isolates an instruction set of the observer processor from direct manipulation by means of an instruction set of the actor processor. Observer processors may be used in a recursive manner to provide a completely-coupled observation module.
