Originally conceived as the target platform for Java alone, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
has since been targeted by other languages, one of which is Scala. This trend, however, is …

Dynamic aspect-oriented programming (AOP) enables runtime adaptation of aspects, which
is important for building sophisticated, aspect-based software engineering tools, such as …

Task granularity, ie, the amount of work performed by parallel tasks, is a key performance
attribute of parallel applications. On the one hand, fine-grained tasks (ie, small tasks carrying …

Calling context profiling fulfills programmers' information needs to obtain a complete picture
of a program's inter-and intra-procedural control flow, which are important for workload …

Sampling profilers are popular because of their low and adjustable overhead and because
they do not distort the profile by modifying the application code. A typical sampling profiler …

The quasi-Z-source inverter is a very attractive topology because of its unique capability of
voltage boost and buck functions in a single stage. But its voltage boost property could be a …

Calling context profiling is an important technique for analyzing the performance of object‐
oriented software with complex inter‐procedural control flow. The Calling Context Tree …

Many profilers for virtual execution environments, such as the Java virtual machine (JVM),
are implemented with low‐level bytecode instrumentation techniques, which is tedious, error …

Develo** tools for profiling, debugging, testing, and reverse engineering is error-prone,
time-consuming, and therefore costly when using low-level techniques, such as bytecode …

Calling-context profiles and dynamic metrics at the bytecode level are important for profiling,
