Abstract
Embodiments relate to a method, apparatus and program product and for capturing thread specific state timing information. The method includes associating a time field and a time valid field to a thread data structure and setting a current time state by determining a previous time state and updating it according to a previously identified method for setting time states. The method further includes determining status of a time valid bit to see if it is set to valid or invalid. When the status is valid, it is made available for reporting.
