摘要:
A time-interval based monitor tool is provided for monitoring performance of a running application. The tool includes a time-based monitor function which is dynamically insertable into and removable from an address space of a running application to be monitored transparent to the application and without requiring recompilation. The time-based monitor function allows an operator to reset the monitor time interval without requiring extraction of the monitor function. In addition, the time-based monitor function allows access to one or more global variables of the application, and by changing a global variable can effect a change in the application's operation path.

A method, and computer readable medium for the dynamic CPU (Central Processing Unit) usage and function call tracing on a target application. The setup of the tracing uses a -pg like solution, and is implemented using the DPCL (Dynamic Probe Class Library). The output is presented in a gmon.out format, which allows the use of popular analysis tools. The program being traced need not be recompiled or re-linked. This is particularly important if the source code is not available. The dynamic feature allows for different choices of profiling and the choice can even be changed once the target application is running.
摘要:
Performance data is organized and displayed in selected display modes to facilitate an analysis of the data. The performance data includes various data, such as profile data associated with thread activity of one or more applications. In order to gain a better understanding of the data, a user can dynamically select between different display modes. The different display modes include a function-centric mode focusing on activities within a function and a thread-centric mode focusing on activities of an individual thread.
摘要:
A system and method for configuring a plurality of monitors, which are contained within a complex circuit, to monitor a valid combination of events within the complex circuit. Each monitor of the complex circuit is only able to monitor a subset of the total set of events which may be monitored. The present invention allows a user to select valid associations between events and monitors, and then processes those selected associations for configuration of the complex circuit. The selected associations may be stored and reused in the future.
