Abstract

Execution analyzers are used to improve the performance of programs, operating systems, and hardware systems. This paper presents a general overview of these tools, especially those designed for use by application programmers. The design tradeofis of a wide variety of execution analyzers are examined. In addition, the design and use of a new execution analyzera re presented; its purpose is to assist in theo ptimization of highly modular PL/I programs.
