Computing at Kent and PLAS: Thanks for everything, and see you soon!| stefan-marr.de
Last year, we looked at how well sampling profilers work on top of the JVM. Unfortunately, they suffer from issues such as safepoint bias and may not correctly attribute observed run time to the correct methods because of the complexities introduced by inlining and other compiler optimizations.| Stefan-Marr.de
