ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for monitoring the performance of a computer system. A number of performance monitoring hardware elements may be placed throughout a computer system to simultaneously monitor the performance of a number of distinct components within the computer system. An advantage of the present invention over a software based approach is that the present invention allows any node within the computer system to be monitored. In addition, the present invention does not run on the systems CPU and therefore the performance monitoring function does not decrease system performance while operating. Finally, because the present invention does not run on the system's CPU, the results of the performance monitoring function may be more accurate than a software base approach.
