Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for identification of code synchronization points collects locking data for a set of locks in a managed runtime environment associated with the processor to form a set of contended metrics and analyzes the set of contended metrics using a set of predetermined event triggers. The method further determines whether a threshold in a set of predetermined thresholds in the set of predetermined event triggers is met and identifies a particular form of call path capture for a lock associated with the predetermined event trigger identified as having met the predetermined threshold. Call path information for the lock is captured using the particular form of call path capture.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer-implemented method for identification of code synchronization points, the computer-implemented process comprising: collecting, by a processor, locking data for a set of locks in a managed runtime environment associated with the processor to form a set of contended metrics; analyzing the set of contended metrics, by the processor, using a set of predetermined event triggers, wherein the set of predetermined event triggers includes event triggers…
