  • Device and method for monitoring a program execution
    Patent number: 7016807
    Abstract: A method for inserting monitor code into a program, improved to monitor the execution of any part of a program, is proposed. By embedding monitor code in place within a sequence of executable codes constituting a function to be monitored when reading the program and executing monitor actions through the intervention of stub functions during the program execution, monitoring the program execution is performed without placing loads on the run of the program other than the functions to be monitored.

  • Computer system and method for program execution monitoring in computer system
    Publication number: 20030074605
    Abstract: In the invention, an exception that occurs in execution of a program is detected, and the normal operation exception occurrence pattern and/or the exception occurrence distribution are prepared from detected exceptions. Furthermore, by comparing the exception occurrence pattern and/or the exception occurrence distribution with the exception that is detected in operation of a computer, the abnormal operation is detected in early stage.
