Abstract
A digital computer is operated such that the execution performance of instructions executing thereon is tabulated without degrading execution performance thereof. Specifically, while the instructions are being executed, a tabulation instruction is executed by a free resource of the processor. The tabulation instruction tabulates the execution performance of the instructions being executed without degrading the execution performance thereof. The tabulation instruction is inserted into a computer program by compiling instructions into a compiled program, determining at least one bubble in the compiled program and inserting the tabulation instruction into the bubble within the compiled program.
