Cooperative creation of dataflow models using sparse random instrumentation

摘要

Dataflow analysis is provided by monitoring a first and a second computing device to detect an initiation of an application on one or more of these computing devices. In response to detecting the initiation of the application on the first computing device, a first instrumentation procedure is applied to a first randomly selected portion of the application to produce a recorded dataflow for the first randomly selected portion. In response to detecting the initiation of the application on the second computing device, a second instrumentation procedure is applied to a second randomly selected portion of the application to produce a recorded dataflow for the second randomly selected portion. An integrated dataflow solution is assembled for the application from the recorded dataflow for the first randomly selected portion and the recorded dataflow for the second randomly selected portion.
