Zusammenfassung:A dual outcome event monitoring unit comprises a plurality of inputs, and a first counter. Each input is associated with an event and the first counter is a bidirectional counter. The dual outcome event monitoring unit is configured to increment the first counter in response to receiving an indication of the occurrence of a first event of a plurality of events. The first event is designated as an increment event. The dual outcome event monitoring unit is also configured to decrement the first counter responsive to receiving an indication of the occurrence of a second event of a plurality of events. The second event is designated as a decrement event.
