Abstract
An analysis and visualization depicts how an application is leveraging computer processor cores in time. The analysis and visualization enables a developer to readily identify the degree of concurrency exploited by an application at runtime. Information regarding processes or threads running on the processor cores over time is received, analyzed, and presented to indicate portions of processor cores that are used by the application, idle, or used by other processes in the system. The analysis and visualization can help a developer understand contention for processor resources, confirm the degree of concurrency, or identify serial regions of execution that might provide opportunities for exploiting parallelism.
