ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring an event is disclosed. In one embodiment, a ratio counter is provided which includes a first counter having a first count and a second counter having a second count. The method increments the first count of the first counter on an occurrence of an event by a first device and shifts the ratio counter to the right by a predetermined number of bits when the first count reaches a maximum count. The method further takes a ratio between the first count and the second count where the ratio indicates the relative occurrence of the event by the first device and a second device. In another embodiment, the method decrements the second count of the second counter when the first count reaches a maximum count. In yet another embodiment, the method decrements the first count of the first counter and the second count of the second counter when the first count reaches a maximum count.
