Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for monitoring processor performance, including cost of events. In an embodiment, a processor includes a first counter, a second counter, a handler circuit, and an enable circuit. The first counter is to count occurrences of an event in the processor and to overflow upon the count of occurrences reaching a specified value. The second counter to measure a performance cost of the event. The handler circuit to generate and an event sampling record. The record is to include at least one value reflecting the performance cost. The enable circuit is to enable the handler circuit to generate the record.
