Estimating the term…
Techniques are provided for executing a software product that includes a plurality of machine instructions and that is associated with a measured usage pricing model. The executing of the software product includes tracking the usage of one or more computing resources for executing the software product in accordance with the associated measured pricing model. The executing also includes, for each of multiple sets of machine instructions, determining whether the set is associated with a token indicating that the set is a set of diagnostic machine instructions related to the executing of the software product. For each of those multiple sets of machine instructions, the executing of the software product further includes, responsive to a determination that the set of machine instructions is associated with the token, not tracking the usage of the one or more computing resources during execution of that set of diagnostic machine instructions.
A computer-implemented method for improving processor performance while tracking computing resources usage comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program code stored thereon that, when executed, performs a method for improving processor performance while tracking computing resource usage, the method comprising:
A computer system comprising a processor, a system memory, and a bus that couples various system components including the system memory to the processor, the computer system configured to perform a method for improving processor performance while tracking computing resource usage that includes:
