Subsuming Methods
David Maplesden, Ewan D. Tempero, John Hosking, John Grundy · 2015
The majority of existing application profiling techniques aggregate and report performance costs by method or calling context. Modern large-scale object-oriented applications consist of thousands of methods with complex calling patterns. Consequently, when profiled, their performance costs tend to be thinly distributed across many thousands of locations with few easily identifiable optimisation opportunities.
