Abstract

See full text

A mechanism is provided for determining a modeled age of a set of interconnect groups in a set of cores in a set of multi-core processors. For each interconnect group in the set of interconnect groups in the set of cores on the set of multi-core processors, a determination is made of a current modeled age of the interconnect group. A determination is then made as to whether at least one current modeled age of the interconnect group for the set of interconnect groups is greater than an end-of-life value. Responsive to at least one current modeled age of the interconnect group being greater than the end-of-life value, an indication to take corrective action with the at least one associated interconnect group is sent.
