Abstract
An illustrative embodiment of a computer-implemented method for identification of code synchronization points collects locking data for a set of locks in a managed runtime environment associated with the processor to form a set of contended metrics and analyzes the set of contended metrics using a set of predetermined event triggers. The method further determines whether a threshold in a set of predetermined thresholds in the set of predetermined event triggers is met and identifies a particular form of call path capture for a lock associated with the predetermined event trigger identified as having met the predetermined threshold. Call path information for the lock is captured using the particular form of call path capture.
