Abstract
Dynamic program analysis is decoupled from execution in virtual computer environments and is carried out synchronously with program execution. Decoupled dynamic program analysis is enabled by separating execution and analysis into two tasks: (1) recording, where system execution is recorded with minimal interference, and (2) analysis, where the execution is replayed and analyzed. Synchronous decoupled program analysis is enabled by suspending execution or data outputs of the program until a confirmation is received that the analysis is in sync with the program execution.
