DispatchMon
An in-depth look into the Windows dispatcher
The dispatcher (also known as scheduler) is part of the Windows kernel executive responsible for scheduling units of executions among available processors. Units
of execution can be threads that belong to a process but also involves ISRs (interrupt service routines) which execute on behalf of either a hardware
or software interrupt and DPCs (deferred procedure calls) which are routines of execution scheduled by the kernel.
This software gives an in-depth look into what is actually running on your processors.
DispatchMon will monitor the following activities:
ISRs (routines that execute as an interrupt handler)
DPCs (routines that get scheduled by the kernel and executed at elevated IRQL)
PageFaults (hard faults, transition faults, demand zero faults, access violation or other)
Context switches
Ready thread (threads ready to begin execution)
Thread execution
This software supplies time stamps of each activity but does not measure actual execution time of each routine. If you are interested in
execution times of ISRs, DPCs and hard pagefaults you should take a look at our LatencyMon utility.

DispatchMon runs on the following operating systems:
Windows 7 32 bit editions
Windows 7 x64 editions
