Abstract
In one embodiment the present invention includes a computer-implemented method of measuring bottlenecks in a computer program implemented in a hardware client-server environment. The method includes defining an execution parameter to measure of the hardware client-server environment. The method further includes modifying code blocks to include instrumentation code. The instrumentation code relates to the execution parameter. The method further includes executing, in the hardware client-server environment, the code blocks having been modified. The method further includes generating instrumentation data, related to the execution parameter, that result from executing the code blocks. The method further includes outputting the instrumentation data having been generated. In this manner, the bottlenecks may be measured; the measured bottlenecks may be sorted; noteworthy bottlenecks may be identified; and the aspects of the hardware client-server environment may be adjusted to address the bottlenecks. Sorting is helpful because thousands of synchronization points may be detected and measured, but many of them do not represent a problem that requires correction.
