MIPS Technologies Introduces hot spot kernel analyzer

Yeah, different tools/processors have been doing this for years - I think that Analog Devices
[full disclosure - that is where I work, but not on this product] won best embedded
development tool (EDN) for this type of feature in 2000 for their VDSP IDE:

The best picture I could find was slide ten:

The demo does not show a running kernel, but it is just an elf file to JTAG - it really
doesn't matter.

The only news here seems to be Eclipse integration (which is neat, but that is it).
