Abstract

A method for diagnosing an aborted transaction from a plurality of transactions is executed by a processor core with a transactional memory, that stores information corresponding to a plurality of transactions executed by the processor core, and a transaction diagnostic register. The processor core retrieves context summary information from at least one register of the processor core. The processor core stores the context summary information of aborted transactions into the transactional memory or the transaction diagnostic register. The context summary information can be used for diagnosing the aborted transactions.
