ANNOUNCEMENT This is to announce the availability of Profiler, a JDK1.2 profiler that reports how much time is being spent in native code. Under the covers, Java is always running native code: the JVM, native libraries, JIT-compiled code. Profiler allows you to see where the time is really being spent. Its output includes a breakdown of which libraries, and which procedures, the app is spending time in - it includes a ranked list of hot spots. The information presented here can, in some cases, be as useful as Java method-level profiling in understanding your application's performance. Profiler is implemented with the JVMPI interface, so you start it as you do any JDK1.2 profiler: java ... -XrunProfiler:<options> ... Profiler depends on features in the Linux 2.2 kernel to do some of its magic. You can find Profiler on my Open Source page at: http://www.teleport.com/~nmeyers/FreeWare/ The README can be found at: http://www.teleport.com/~nmeyers/FreeWare/Profiler/README Nathan Meyers [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
