Abstract
A method and system in a distributed shared-memory data processing system are disclosed having a single operating system being executed simultaneously by a plurality of processors included within a plurality of coupled processing nodes for determining a utilization of each memory location included within a shared-memory included within each of the plurality of nodes by each of the plurality of nodes. The operating system processes a designated application utilizing the plurality of nodes. During the processing, for each of the plurality of nodes, a determination is made of a quantity of times each memory location included within a shared-memory included within each of the plurality of nodes is accessed by each of the plurality of nodes.
