Abstract
A software monitor for analyzing the running of a software program. The software monitor is a hardware device including registers and control devices that interacts with the software program running on the monitored computer or multi-processor. Through commands placed in the running software, the software monitor is able to monitor various parameters related to the running of the software program. These parameters include the number of times each segment of the program has been entered, the number of times an interrupt was received during the running of each segment, and the total time spent by the program in each segment.
