Abstract

The method involves evaluating an execution time of every instruction performed a microprocessor to execute (23) a program containing a number of instructions. During execution of every instruction, a progress (26) is measured by accumulating meaningful value of the time of execution of this instruction. An Independent claim is included for: (a) a device for performing claimed method
