A Novel Methodology for Accurate Measurement of Concurrency in Multithreaded Systems

The optimization of modern software systems demands the proficient management of concurrency within multi-threaded environments. This paper introduces a novel methodology that leverages activity vectors, on-chip static clock counters, and preemptive measures to provide accurate and comprehensive concurrency measurement. By orchestrating concurrent activities across diverse hardware components, the proposed approach quantifies concurrency intricacies, thereby assuring the performance of an SoC as well as evaluating the effectiveness of post-silicon validation tests.
