35/**
36 * ActivityRecorder helper class that informs the CPU if it can switch
37 * over to being idle or not. It works by having a time buffer as
38 * long as any time buffer in the CPU, and the CPU and all of its
39 * stages inform the ActivityRecorder when they write to any time
40 * buffer. The ActivityRecorder marks a 1 in the "0" slot of the time
41 * buffer any time a stage writes to a time buffer, and it advances
42 * its time buffer at the same time as all other stages. The
43 * ActivityRecorder also records if a stage has activity to do next
44 * cycle. The recorder keeps a count of these two. Thus any time the
45 * count is non-zero, there is either communication still in flight,
46 * or activity that still must be done, meaning that the CPU can not
47 * idle. If count is zero, then the CPU can safely idle as it has no
48 * more outstanding work to do.
