This started a widespread investigation on how to gain the technology of increasing the processor capacity in providing an expected result. Knowing the fact that on every processor software is executing, this paper highlights the possibility of speeding up processor reaction only relying on the executing software. This implies the creation of an analytic and statistical system which will synthesize the information acquired from the processor in to a co-processor. The new component will have the same functionality as the executing software but will provide a quicker response. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{profiling tools; FPGA; embedded systems; reliability; speed-up; co-design} \itemli{} \end
