Abstract

A multiprocessor chip system having the capability to capture and preserve intermediate machine error state data, wherein the system comprises a second level cache, wherein the second level cache is commonly interfaced with a primary and secondary processing core, and at least two primary error event registers, wherein each primary error event register is logically associated to a respective processing core. Further, at least two secondary error event registers, wherein each secondary error event register is logically associated to a respective processing core, and at least two sub-primary error accumulation registers, wherein each sub-primary error accumulation register is logically associated to a respective primary error event register and a secondary error event register.
