Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for identifying performance bottlenecks in computer programs by tracking data accesses. In embodiments of the present disclosure, trace points are inserted at accessor functions of a computer program to record accesses to data structures of the computer program. The accesses are analyzed to determine patterns of access and to prioritize data structures for refactoring. In embodiments, the analysis is visualized using a hailstone plot wherein the data structures are ranked by priority. In some embodiments, transformation strategies may be generated based on the analysis to improve the performance of the computer program.
