Abstract:
A system and method for improving the performance of all applications are disclosed. Production profile data may be collected about each application while the application is executing. The production profile data may be converted into symbolized profiles and stored in a database. The symbolized profiles may be aggregated into a single aggregated profile. This aggregated profile may be used as a compilation input when compiling new versions of an application's binary to improve the application's performance for observed application behavior.
Abstract:
A system and method for using inline stacks to improve the performance of application binaries is included. While executing a first application binary, profile data may be collected about the application that includes which callee functions are called from the application's callsites and the number of times each inline stack is executed. A context summary map may be created from the collected profile data which shows a summary of the total execution count of all instructions in the callee function for each callsite inlined in the application's normal binary. Using the context summary map, each function callsite's execution count may be compared with a predetermined threshold to determine if the function should be inlined. Then the application's profile may be annotated and a second application binary, an optimized binary, may be generated using the annotated profile.
