Dynamic Analysis and Profiling of Multithreaded Systems
Abstract
As software-intensive systems become larger, more parallel, and more unpredictable the ability to analyze their behavior is increasingly important. There are two basic approaches to behavioral analysis: static and dynamic. Although static analysis techniques, such as model checking, provide valuable information to software developers and testers, they cannot capture and predict a complete, precise, image of behavior for large-scale systems due to scalability limitations and the inability to model complex external stimuli. This chapter explores four approaches to analyzing the behavior of software systems via dynamic analysis: compiler-based instrumentation, operating system and middleware profiling, virtual machine profiling, and hardware-based profiling. We highlight the advantages and disadvantages of each approach with respect to measuring the performance of multithreaded systems and demonstrate how these approaches can be applied in practice.
