Description

ABSTRACT:
Performance monitoring capabilities are expanded to an entire data processing system so that performance analyses can be made for operations occurring within the entire data processing system and not merely within the processor or any other device containing the performance monitor. Therefore, there is a provision for communicating performance monitor-related signals between the various performance monitors within the various devices and processor within a data processing system.
