Abstract
A system and method for a performance monitoring hardware unit that may include logic to poll one or more performance monitoring shared resources and determine a status of each performance monitoring shared resource. The performance monitoring hardware unit may also include an interface to provide the status to allow programming of the one or more performance monitoring shared resource. The status may correspond to a usage and/or an errata condition. Thus, the performance monitoring hardware unit may prevent programming conflicts of the one or more performance monitoring shared resources.
