Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and system for determining statistics corresponding to data transfer operations. In one embodiment, the computer implemented method includes the steps of receiving a request from an input/output (I/O) device to perform a data transfer operation between the I/O device and a memory, generating an entry in an input/output memory management unit (IOMMU) corresponding to the data transfer operation, wherein the entry in the IOMMU includes at least an indication of a processor chip that corresponds to the memory of the data transfer operation, monitoring the data transfer operation between the I/O device and the memory, determining statistics corresponding to the monitored data transfer operation, wherein the determined statistics include at least: the I/O device that performed the data transfer operation, the processor chip that corresponds to the memory of the data transfer operation, and an amount of data transferred.
