Disclosed are a method and system for measuring the performance of individual logical partitions of a logically partitioned computer system. Preferably, the method and system both hardware and firmware to allow measurement samples to be collected only for user specified zones of interest. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of specifying a Zone or Zones of interest (a Zone being a logical partition), collecting measurement samples only from the one or more specified Zones of interest, and measuring the performance of each of these Zones using only the measurement samples collected from said each of the Zones.

According to an embodiment, a computer system for cache management includes a processor and a cache, the computer system configured to perform a method including receiving a first store request for a first address in the cache and receiving a first fetch request for the first address in the cache. The method also includes executing the first store request and the first fetch request, latching the first store request in a store write-back pipeline in the cache, detecting, in the processor, a conflict following execution of the first store request and the first fetch request and receiving the first store request from a recycle path including the store write-back pipeline and executing the first store request a second time.
摘要:
A measurement sampling facility takes snapshots of the central processing unit (CPU) on which it is executing at specified sampling intervals to collect data relating to tasks executing on the CPU. The collected data is stored in a buffer, and at selected times, an interrupt is provided to remove data from the buffer to enable reuse thereof. The interrupt is not taken after each sample, but in sufficient time to remove the data and minimize data loss.

System, method and computer program products for failure analysis implementing automated comparison of multiple reference models. An exemplary embodiment includes a method for failure analysis for an instruction set implementation in a computer system, the method including running a test-case in a first and a second model, determining if the test case failed in the first model and determining if the test case failed in the second model.

摘要:
A system, method and computer program product for sampling computer system performance data are provided. The system includes a sample buffer to store instrumentation data while capturing trace data in a trace array, where the instrumentation data enables measurement of computer system performance. The system further includes a sample interrupt generator to assert a sample interrupt indicating that the instrumentation data is available to read. The sample interrupt is asserted in response to storing the instrumentation data in the sample buffer.
