ABSTRACT:
A computer processor and a method of using the computer processor take advantage of information in the event address register of the computer processor by saving information from the event address register to an event address register history buffer. Thus, the event address register history buffer includes a cluster of events associated with execution of a computer program. The cluster of events is analyzed and the computer program modified, either statically or dynamically, to eliminate or at least ameliorate the effects of such events in further execution of the computer program.
