Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inexpensive monitor which can improve the analysis capability of system performance in a wide range by adding a performance monitoring function to a peripheral device that is connected to a processor. SOLUTION: A system 80 includes a programmable circuit 802 which includes a performance monitoring function 50. The circuit 802 is connected to a CPU 10 via a bus 807, to a DMA controller 803 via a bus 809, to a memory controller 804 via a bus 808 and then to a bridge circuit 805 via a bus 811. The circuit 802 is used together with or in place of the CPU 10 in order to execute the performance monitoring analysis of a certain type by means of the function 50 included in the circuit 802. Thus, this performance monitor is applied to execution of the function 50 at the inside of the CPU 10 or the circuit 802 or for the combination of the CPU 10 and the circuit 802.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and system for commodity check-out system for purchasing commodities in which a purchaser can buy a commodity without asking any help to salesclerk. SOLUTION: A remote scanning device 12 reads product identification information from a coded label on a product selected by a purchaser 14, and the information is transmitted to central processing unit. The central processing unit is provided with a memory for indexing price information and weight for each product based on the product identification information, and the central processing unit transmits the transaction of the accumulated price and weight to the remote scanning device 12 so that the purchases can use it. The product identification information on the product includes a security tag to be inactivated by the remote scanning device 12. At the time of completing the purchase of commodity, the purchaser brings a shopping cart 18 to a security station, and this is measured on a scale. The actual total weight of the shopping cart 18, bag 20, and products is compared with the predicted weight decided by the central processing unit, and when they are not mutually coincident, a communication signal is generated.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method which can progress and monitor an instruction in a processor by preparing a circuit, etc., that can operate to transfer a 1st or 2nd reason code to a 3rd stage by means of a 1st or 2nd execution unit serving as a 2nd stage. SOLUTION: If a dispatch unit serving as a 1st stage stops its operation and cannot dispatch the instructions, a 1st execution unit serving as a 2nd stage receives no Job in a step 801. Then the processing proceeds to a step 803 to decide whether the 1st execution unit can produce its result. Therefore, the 1st execution unit carries out a division operation that requires plural cycles and can produce its result as soon as the division operation is over. Then in a step 804, the 1st execution unit transfers the result of the division operation (e.g. a 1st reason code) to an end unit serving as a 3rd stage.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, an apparatus and a system for counting interrupts by type; and to provide a computer program having instructions for counting interrupts by type. SOLUTION: An interrupt count is incremented when a particular type of interrupt occurs. The count may be stored in an IDT (interrupt descriptor table) or an interrupt count table (ICT) outside the IDT. An interrupt unit increments the count each time a particular type of interrupt occurs. In the event of a potential count overflow, the mechanism of this application provides logic necessary to notify software in order to handle the overflow. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

解决方案：当发生特定类型的中断时，中断计数递增。 计数可以存储在IDT外的IDT（中断描述符表）或中断计数表（ICT）中。 每当发生特定类型的中断时，中断单元递增计数。 在潜在计数溢出的情况下，此应用程序的机制提供了通知软件以处理溢出所需的逻辑。 版权所有（C）2005，JPO＆NCIPI

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide information to relate between a class file and an instrumentation. SOLUTION: In a support method of user-specific instrumentation, when loading a class, a hook specifying a major code and a minor code for each method, which is instrumented to a method name, is outputted to, for example, a trace record. Next, when making the method an entry or an exit, a hook specifying the entry or the exit is also outputted to the record. When the record is performed in a post-processing, since it becomes enabling to acquire the information to relate the class file to the instrumentation from the record in a trace stream, the information is used for a merge.
