CROSS-PLATFORM ARCHITECTURE FOR REPLICATING PROFILING SCHEME IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

The method, an apparatus, and/or a system of cross-platform architecture for replicating profiling scheme in a computer system are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for forming profiling information of one computer platform in another computer platform includes generating instrumented code by a code instrumenter using a target platform code. The method further includes generating the profile information that the source platform profiling tools can decipher and utilize using the instrumented code, and generating a profile report by analyzing the generated profile information using the source platform profiling tools in a dynamic binary translator that can be used by the dynamic binary translator (DBT) to generate target platform code. In addition, the method may include translating source platform object code into the target platform code using the DBT.
