Abstract
A system and method for implementing a servicing instruction for a plurality of counters that includes determining a counter set based on the servicing instruction, whether access is authorized to the counter set, and a block of storage in a memory based on the service instruction. In response to the determining that the access is authorized, the system and method extracts the plurality of counters within the counter set in response to the determining that the access is authorized and storing the plurality of counters in the block of storage.

A system for implementing a servicing instruction for a plurality of counters, comprising:
- a processor and a memory, the processor being configured to:
- determine a counter set based on the servicing instruction;
- determine whether access is authorized to the counter set;
- determine a block of storage in a memory based on the service instruction and in response to the determining that the access is authorized;
- extract the plurality of counters within the counter set in response to the determining that the access is authorized;
- and
- store the plurality of counters in the block of storage.
A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions implementing a servicing instruction for a plurality of counters embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:
- determine a counter set based on the servicing instruction;
- determine whether access is authorized to the counter set;
- determine a block of storage in a memory based on the service instruction and in response to the determining that the access is authorized;
- extract the plurality of counters within the counter set in response to the determining that the access is authorized;
- and
- store the plurality of counters in the block of storage.
