Abstract

See full text

A method of monitoring execution performance of a program is provided. A process identifier associated with a process within a program is determined, and a trace output file is created for the process such that the file name of the trace output file contains the process identifier. Trace records are generated in response to events within the process. The trace records associated with the process are then written to the trace output file associated with the process. Multiple processes may then be associated with unique trace output files simultaneously. Using this methodology, multiple instances of JVMs may be executing simultaneously, and each JVM may be generating trace records through a profiler. However, the origin of the trace records, as identified by the process identifier, or PID, of the JVM is used to place the trace information into a file that is identified through the use of the same PID.
