Performance Verification
A program that tests the emulator to determine whether the emulation
and analysis hardware is functioning properly.
Physical Address Space
The address space in hardware memory and hardware I/O that is
accessed by the microprocessor during normal program execution.
PQFP
A plastic quad flat pack is a type of integrated circuit.
P/O
An abbreviation for "part of." Used in illustrations to show that a part is
shipped with other parts under a certain HP part number.
Prefetch
The ability of a microprocessor to fetch additional opcodes and
operands before the current instruction is finished executing.
Prestore
The storage of states captured by the analyzer that precede states which
are normally stored. If the normal storage qualifier specifies the entry
address of a function or routine, prestore can be used to identify the
callers of that function or routine.
Prestore Qualifier
A specification that must be met by a state before it can be saved in the
analyzer prestore memory.
Primary Sequencer Branch
Occurs when the analyzer finds the primary branch state specified at a
certain level and begins searching for the states specified at the primary
branch's destination level.
