....mechanisms used to date have required expensive, custom built hardware, and have not been practical for inclusion in commodity chipsets. This paper describes a set of embedded hardware instrumentation mechanisms for the system interconnect that are part of the Sun Fire Link hardware[3], a high bandwidth, lowlatency clustering interconnect for Sun Fire servers (see Figure 1) These embedded mechanisms have the advantage over external instrumentation both in cost and in universal availability, thus making the information available to the general performance community.
