Techniques and systems are disclosed for managing computer resources available to multiple running instances of a media player program. The methods include monitoring consumption of computing resources of multiple running instances of a media player program to render respective media content in a graphical user interface of a computing device. The graphical user interface associated with an additional program configured to render additional content, different from the media content, to the graphical user interface. The additional program can be a browser. The methods further include instructing the multiple instances to reduce respective portions of the computing resources consumption upon determining that a requested increase in computer resources consumption of the media player program would cause the computer resources consumption of the media player program to exceed a first predetermined level.

Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer program products, for profiling an application. An application for execution is obtained. The application comprises a plurality of machine-independent first instructions. Regions of the first instructions that implement one or more programming language methods, functions, or flow control structures are identified. The first instructions are translated into corresponding machine-dependent second instructions for a target machine. The second instructions are instrumented to include sampling instructions for the identified regions. The sampling instructions are configured to cause generation of a state sample when an identified region is executed. Each state sample includes a time stamp and an identification of a currently executing method or function. The second instructions are executed in order to execute the application. During the execution of the application, each generated state sample is collected.

Application profiling

Systems and methods communicate data selected from one program to another program or component of another program. A system can receive an identifier of at least one type of data each of a plurality of programs can receive. The system can store the identifiers and can receive a data selection command relative to one of the plurality of programs via a user interface. The system can also receive, in response to the obtained data selection command, data associated with the data selection command and an identifier of the type of the data associated with the data selection command. The system can also identify at least one other program in the plurality of programs whose identifier matches the identifier of the type of data received, and can provide, based on input, the data received to at least one of the at least one other program in the plurality of programs identified.
