Abstract
A method and system are provided for providing a service address space for diagnostics collection. The system includes: a service co-processor attached to a main processor, wherein the service co-processor maintains an independent copy of the main processor's address space in the form of a service address space; and a storage update receiving component for updating the service address space by receiving storage update packets from the main processor and applying these to the service address space. An instruction pipe may be provided between the main processor and the service co-processor. The main processor may include: a service delegation component for delegating collection of diagnostic data to the co-processor by sending a collection command from the main processor to the service co-processor for collection of data from the service address space.
