Measurement and Analysis of Runtime Profiling Data for Java Programs

In this paper we examine a procedure for the analysis of data based on the dynamic profiling of Java programs. In particular, we describe the issues involved in dynamic analysis, propose a metric for discrimination between the resulting data sets, and examine its application over different test suites and compilers. 1 Computer Applications, Dublin City University, Dublin 9, Ireland. 2 Dept. of Computer Science, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland. 2
