An apparatus for storing service level agreement ("SLA") compliance data is disclosed. A method and a computer program product also perform the functions of the apparatus. The apparatus includes a reservation module that reserves a memory location to store SLA compliance data of a software thread. The apparatus includes a directing module that directs the software thread to run on a selected hardware device. The apparatus includes an enabling module that enables SLA compliance data to be stored in the memory location. The SLA compliance data is from a hardware counting device in communication with the selected hardware device. The SLA compliance data corresponds to operation of the software thread on the selected hardware device. At least a portion of the reservation, the module, and the enabling modules includes one or more of hardware and program instructions. The program instructions are stored on one or more computer readable storage media.
