| 10 | This file contains the following types of records:
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | THREAD START
|
|---|
| 13 | THREAD END mark the lifetime of Java threads
|
|---|
| 14 |
|
|---|
| 15 | TRACE represents a Java stack trace. Each trace consists
|
|---|
| 16 | of a series of stack frames. Other records refer to
|
|---|
| 17 | TRACEs to identify (1) where object allocations have
|
|---|
| 18 | taken place, (2) the frames in which GC roots were
|
|---|
| 19 | found, and (3) frequently executed methods.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | HEAP DUMP is a complete snapshot of all live objects in the Java
|
|---|
| 22 | heap. Following distinctions are made:
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | ROOT root set as determined by GC
|
|---|
| 25 | CLS classes
|
|---|
| 26 | OBJ instances
|
|---|
| 27 | ARR arrays
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | SITES is a sorted list of allocation sites. This identifies
|
|---|
| 30 | the most heavily allocated object types, and the TRACE
|
|---|
| 31 | at which those allocations occurred.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | CPU SAMPLES is a statistical profile of program execution. The VM
|
|---|
| 34 | periodically samples all running threads, and assigns
|
|---|
| 35 | a quantum to active TRACEs in those threads. Entries
|
|---|
| 36 | in this record are TRACEs ranked by the percentage of
|
|---|
| 37 | total quanta they consumed; top-ranked TRACEs are
|
|---|
| 38 | typically hot spots in the program.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | CPU TIME is a profile of program execution obtained by measuring
|
|---|
| 41 | the time spent in individual methods (excluding the time
|
|---|
| 42 | spent in callees), as well as by counting the number of
|
|---|
| 43 | times each method is called. Entries in this record are
|
|---|
| 44 | TRACEs ranked by the percentage of total CPU time. The
|
|---|
| 45 | "count" field indicates the number of times each TRACE
|
|---|
| 46 | is invoked.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | MONITOR TIME is a profile of monitor contention obtained by measuring
|
|---|
| 49 | the time spent by a thread waiting to enter a monitor.
|
|---|
| 50 | Entries in this record are TRACEs ranked by the percentage
|
|---|
| 51 | of total monitor contention time and a brief description
|
|---|
| 52 | of the monitor. The "count" field indicates the number of
|
|---|
| 53 | times the monitor was contended at that TRACE.
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | MONITOR DUMP is a complete snapshot of all the monitors and threads in
|
|---|
| 56 | the System.
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | HEAP DUMP, SITES, CPU SAMPLES|TIME and MONITOR DUMP|TIME records are generated
|
|---|
| 59 | at program exit. They can also be obtained during program execution by typing
|
|---|
| 60 | Ctrl-\ (on Solaris) or by typing Ctrl-Break (on Win32).
