ABSTRACT:
A method and system for collaborative profiling for continuous detection of profile phase transitions is disclosed. In one embodiment, the method, comprises using hardware and software to perform continuous edge profiling on a program; detecting profile phase transitions continuously; and optimizing the program based upon the profile phase transitions and edge profile.
