Abstract
A bottleneck detector may use an iterative method to identify a bottleneck with specificity. An automated checkpoint inserter may place checkpoints in an application. When a bottleneck is detected in an area of an application, the first set of checkpoints may be removed and a new set of checkpoints may be placed in the area of the bottleneck. The process may iterate until a bottleneck may be identified with enough specificity to aid a developer or administrator of an application. In some cases, the process may identify a specific function or line of code where a bottleneck occurs.
