In accordance with embodiments disclosed herein, there is provided systems and methods for monitoring performance of a processor to manage events. A processor includes a first performance counter to increment upon occurrence of a first type of event in the processor and a second performance counter to increment upon occurrence of a second type of event in the processor. The processor is to reset the second performance counter in response to the first performance counter reaching a first limit.

An automotive electronics system includes an electronic control unit and a trace adapter. The electronic control unit is configured to receive measurement signals and provide control signals. Additionally, the electronic control unit is configured to generate or provide trace signals by replacing original instructions in a binary image with trace instructions. The trace instructions are functionally equivalent, but trigger providing the trace signals. The trace adapter is coupled to the electronic control unit. The trace adapter is configured to obtain the trace signals from the electronic control unit.

Systems and methods of managing computing resources of a computing system are described. A computing resource list and computing resource information may be stored at a data store. The computing resource list may identify a set of computing resources of a computing system, and the computing resource information may respectively describe the computing resources. The computing resource list may be updated in response to a new computing resource being added to the computing system or in response to an existing computing resource being removed from the computing system. Evaluation tasks for the computing resources may be performed, and a resource evaluation report may be generated during performance of at least one of the evaluation reports.

An instrumentation analysis system processes data streams by executing instructions specified using a data stream language program. The data stream language allows users to specify a search condition using a find block for identifying the set of data streams processed by the data stream language program. The set of identified data streams may change dynamically. The data stream language allows users to group data streams into sets of data streams based on distinct values of one or more metadata attributes associated with the input data streams. The data stream language allows users to specify a threshold block for determining whether data values of input data streams are outside boundaries specified using low/high thresholds. The elements of the set of data streams input to the threshold block can dynamically change. The low/high threshold values can be specified as data streams and can dynamically change.

Systems and methods for generating, administering and analyzing a user experience study are provided. In particular, intents can be generated from a user experience study by applying one or more screener questions to participants and subjecting the screened participants to one or more tasks. Corresponding clickstreams and success data for each participant engaging in the tasks can be recorded. The success and clickstream data can also be aggregated for all the screened participants as aggregated results. Video data including audio for each of the screened participants can also be recorded.

A storage unit stores statistical information including an amount of resource consumption and performance information, which represents a performance, of each piece of hardware of a plurality of types that are candidates for an arrangement destination of a function, an accepting unit accepts inputs of description details of a function in a high-level language corresponding to the hardware of the plurality of types, and a performance requirement that represents a required performance, a performance predicting unit calculates a predicted performance, and a predicted amount of resource consumption, using the description details and a predetermined algorithm for each piece of hardware; and a device selecting unit selects, as an arrangement destination, hardware with the calculated predicted performance and the performance information satisfying the performance requirement and a total value of the predicted amount of resource consumption and the amount of resource consumption being equal to or smaller than a resource capacity.

An aspect of behavior of an embedded system may be determined by (a) determining a baseline behavior of the embedded system from a sequence of patterns in real-time digital measurements extracted from the embedded system; (b) extracting, while the embedded system is operating, real-time digital measurements from the embedded system; (c) extracting features from the real-time digital measurements extracted from the embedded system while the embedded system was operating; and (d) determining the aspect of the behavior of the embedded system by analyzing the extracted features with respect to features of the baseline behavior determined.

A tracing operation is initiated on a service, wherein the service comprises a plurality of method calls. A span is generated comprising timing information associated with the service, wherein the span comprises a plurality of nested spans associated with the plurality of method calls. A determination is made as to whether one or more method calls of the plurality of method calls are causing the service to underperform in view of the plurality of nested spans. In response to determining that the one or more method calls of the plurality of method calls are causing the service to underperform, a remedial action associated with the one or more method calls is performed.

A method includes saving a control state for a processor in response to commencing a transactional processing sequence, wherein saving the control state produces a saved control state. The method also includes permitting updates to the control state for the processor while executing the transactional processing sequence. Examples of updates to the control state include key mask changes, primary region table origin changes, primary segment table origin changes, CPU tracing mode changes, and interrupt mode changes. The method also includes restoring the control state for the processor to the saved control state in response to encountering a transactional error during the transactional processing sequence. In some embodiments, saving the control state comprises saving the current control state to memory corresponding to internal registers for an unused thread or another level of virtualization. A corresponding computer system and computer program product are also disclosed herein.

A computer-based system and method for real-time monitoring of computer resource usage, including obtaining, by a monitoring application executed by a processor, from a plurality of applications, each application executed by a processor, a report upon the accessing of at least one accessed resource by at least one accessing user; and generating, by the monitoring application based on the report, a map of resources accessed by the plurality of applications. If a notification that a resource has been compromised is obtained, a list of all applications that have accessed the resource may be generated based on the map.
