DATA PROCESSING ARRAY EVENT TRACE AND PROFILING USING PROCESSOR SYSTEM EXECUTED KERNELS

Within an integrated circuit including a processor system and a data processing array, one or more kernels in the processor system are executed in response to a scheduling request from a host data processing system. The one or more kernels receive configuration data for implementing trace or profiling of a user design executable by a plurality of active tiles of the data processing array. Using the one or more kernels, selected tiles of the plurality of active tiles of the data processing array are configured with the configuration data to perform the trace or the profiling. Trace data or profiling data is generated through execution of the user design by the data processing array. The one or more kernels provide the trace data or the profiling data to the host data processing system.
