Abstract:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for receiving a signal in a filter register of a performance monitor from an execution unit to enable a field of the filter register associated with a first thread when a filter enable instruction is executed during execution of code of the first thread, receiving a thread identifier and event information in the performance monitor from the execution unit, and determining if the thread that corresponds to the received thread identifier is enabled in the filter register and if so, storing the event information in a first counter of the performance monitor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
