Over the past several de ades, mi ropro essors have evolved to assist system software in implementing new fun tionality or in improving the performan e of programs. The relative abundan e of available sili on may further motivate introdu ing new hardware features other than those that are dire tly required for exe uting ode. The main fo us of this dissertation is on how new hardware support an olle t a urate performan e data so as to enable system software in making more informed de isions in improving the performan e of programs. First, we explore the problem of using Hardware Performan e Counters (HPCs) to identify CPU bottlene ks a urately and e iently. We address the problem of having a limited number of available HPCs by develop...
