Abstract:
Hardware processors and methods to perform self-monitoring diagnostics to predict and detect failure are described. In one embodiment, a hardware processor includes a plurality of cores, and a diagnostic hardware unit to isolate a core of the plurality of cores at run-time, perform a stress test on an isolated core, determine a stress factor from a result of the stress test, and store the stress factor in a data storage device.
