Abstract

The performance measurement and analysis of software operating systems which extend basic computing machinery is discussed. The description of an external monitoring technique which facilitates the correlation of hardware events with software functions without the need for software monitors is presented. A time related Event is defined to provide the basis for the technique used to implement the monitor system. In addition, Event analysis methods are introduced which allow a software system execution profile to be constructed.
