Abstract
A method and system in a distributed shared-memory data processing system are disclosed for determining a utilization of each of a plurality of coupled processing nodes by one of a plurality of executed threads. The system includes a single operating system being executing simultaneously by a plurality of processors included within each of the processing nodes. The operating system processes one of the plurality of threads utilizing one of the plurality of nodes. During the processing, for each of the nodes, a quantity of times the one of the plurality of threads accesses a shared-memory included with each of the plurality of nodes is determined.
