A method for system profiling and controlling and a computer system performing the same are provided. In the method, an operating system is operated after the computer system is booted, in which a profiling-controlling system is operated. When the operating system loads and executes a system profiling-controlling program, the profiling-controlling system that simultaneously operates a profiling routine and a controlling routine is initiated. The profiling routine is used to retrieve system kernel data that is generated during operation of the operating system and analyze the system kernel data through a kernel tracing tool. When it is determined that controlling is required, the profiling routine notifies the controlling routine. The controlling routine controls operating parameters of the operating system in real time according to an analysis result generated by the profiling routine.

Method for system profiling and controlling and computer system performing the same

Disclosed is a universal profiling device operable to simulate a performance monitoring unit for a heterogeneous system. The universal profiling device includes a main circuit and a storage circuit. The main circuit is configured to execute at least one of multiple steps including an active data collection step and a passive data collection step. The active data collection step registers a callback function for an event of a designated object according to predetermined setting or user setting, and actively calls the callback function to obtain information of the event. The passive data collection step registers the event of the designated object according to the predetermined setting or user setting and thereby receives the information of the event without requesting the designated object, wherein the information of the event is stored in the storage circuit.
