ABSTRACT:
A method and system of controlling the frequency and duration of bursts made by a burst profiler profiling an application in a computer system. A burst profiler profiles the application by running the application free and unfettered for a first time period. Then, the profiler instruments the application with instructions that produce profile information and runs the instrumented application for a second time period. This process repeats as necessary and generates bursts of profile data. The profiler converts the bursts of profile data into images. This conversion is performed by mapping each attribute of the profile data to an image attribute. Next, an image processing subsystem within the computer system compares an image with an image generated from a previous burst. This image processing subsystem preferably implements the MPEG standard. From the information gathered by comparing the two images, the profiler can adjust the frequency and duration of the bursts to account for profile stabilization.
