ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer usable program code for profiling an application. Data is collected for analyzing performance of the application using a device driver for a profiler in an operating system kernel in response to the application executing in a virtual machine. Data is stored in a buffer. A report is generated containing the data from the buffer in response to an event in the virtual machine, wherein the application is profiled using the report. Collection of the data is halted in response to the application terminating execution in the virtual machine.
