Vertical Profiling: Understanding the Behavior of Object-Oriented Applications

Tags:
object-oriented

Overview Object-oriented programming languages provide a rich set of features that provide significant software engineering benefits. The increased productivity provided by these features comes at a justifiable cost in a more sophisticated runtime system whose responsibility is to implement these features efficiently. However, the virtualization introduced by this sophistication provides a significant challenge to understanding complete system performance, not found in traditionally compiled languages, such as C or C++. Thus, understanding system performance of such a system requires profiling that spans all levels of the execution stack, such as the hardware, operating system, virtual machine, and application. The work discusses in this paper suggest an approach, called vertical pro-filing, that enables this level of understanding.

Devil's Advocate: Software never changes

High level languages also encouraged the writing of standard subroutines that could be reused. It came to prominence along with the very earliest high level languages. It advertises reuse, one of the claims of object oriented programming.

Devil's Advocate: Theory into practice

Object orientation works most easily with interpreted programming languages, and one of the most popular choices for web development is PHP. Those are quickly reduced to tokens by the processor, or can be pre-processed into a machine-efficient...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
