Abstract
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a method for profiling computer program executions in a computer processing system having a processor and a memory hierarchy. The method includes the step of executing a computer program. Profile counts are stored in a memory array for events associated with the execution of the computer program. The memory array is separate and distinct from the memory hierarchy so as to not perturb normal operations of the memory hierarchy.
