Abstract
A method and a computer for performance of the method. While executing a program on a computer, profileable events occurring in the instruction pipeline are detected. The instruction pipeline is directed to record profile information describing the profileable events essentially concurrently with the occurrence of the profileable events. The detecting and recording occur under control of hardware of the computer without software intervention.
