/// This file implements the bottleneck analysis view.
///
/// This view internally observes backend pressure increase events in order to
/// identify problematic data dependencies and processor resource interferences.
///
/// Example of bottleneck analysis report for a dot-product on X86 btver2:
///
/// Cycles with backend pressure increase [ 40.76% ]
/// Throughput Bottlenecks: 
///   Resource Pressure       [ 39.34% ]
///   - JFPA  [ 39.34% ]
///   - JFPU0  [ 39.34% ]
///   Data Dependencies:      [ 1.42% ]
///   - Register Dependencies [ 1.42% ]
///   - Memory Dependencies   [ 0.00% ]
///
/// According to the example, backend pressure increased during the 40.76% of
/// the simulated cycles.  In particular, the major cause of backend pressure
/// increases was the contention on floating point adder JFPA accessible from
/// pipeline resource JFPU0.
///
/// At the end of each cycle, if pressure on the simulated out-of-order buffers
/// has increased, a backend pressure event is reported.
/// In particular, this occurs when there is a delta between the number of uOps
/// dispatched and the number of uOps issued to the underlying pipelines.
///
/// The bottleneck analysis view is also responsible for identifying and printing
/// the most "critical" sequence of dependent instructions according to the
/// simulated run.
///
/// Below is the critical sequence computed for the dot-product example on
/// btver2:
///
///              Instruction                     Dependency Information
/// +----< 2.    vhaddps %xmm3, %xmm3, %xmm4
/// |
/// |    < loop carried > 
/// |
/// |      0.    vmulps	 %xmm0, %xmm0, %xmm2
/// +----> 1.    vhaddps %xmm2, %xmm2, %xmm3     ## RESOURCE interference:  JFPA [ probability: 73% ]
/// +----> 2.    vhaddps %xmm3, %xmm3, %xmm4     ## REGISTER dependency:  %xmm3
/// |
/// |    < loop carried > 
/// |
/// +----> 1.    vhaddps %xmm2, %xmm2, %xmm3     ## RESOURCE interference:  JFPA [ probability: 73% ]
///
///
/// The algorithm that computes the critical sequence is very similar to a
/// critical path analysis.
/// 
/// A dependency graph is used internally to track dependencies between nodes.
/// Nodes of the graph represent instructions from the input assembly sequence,
/// and edges of the graph represent data dependencies or processor resource
/// interferences.
///
/// Edges are dynamically 'discovered' by observing instruction state transitions
/// and backend pressure increase events. Edges are internally ranked based on
/// their "criticality". A dependency is considered to be critical if it takes a
/// long time to execute, and if it contributes to backend pressure increases.
/// Criticality is internally measured in terms of cycles; it is computed for
/// every edge in the graph as a function of the edge latency and the number of
/// backend pressure increase cycles contributed by that edge.
///
/// At the end of simulation, costs are propagated to nodes through the edges of
/// the graph, and the most expensive path connecting the root-set (a
/// set of nodes with no predecessors) to a leaf node is reported as critical
/// sequence.
