I just got back from the ASP-DAC conference held this last week. There was a University Design Contest entry for an AMBA bus snooper. There was a poster available, but I wasn't able to track down any of the authors. However, I thought of the recent discussion on monitoring the PCI bus.
It seems that the experiences from snooping the AMBA bus could be quite useful when applied to a PCI bus. Of note, they gave brief mention to compression schemes (omit sequential addresses, store data differentials, encode status bits) which they claimed allowed an average compression rate of 96%. I don't know when the proceedings will be available online, but I have the electronic proceedings. The project was completed by Chung-Fu Kao, Chi-Hung Lin, and Ing-Jer Huang of National Sun Yat-Sen University. /Goes back to lurking. Chris
