The EACM code performance Anomaly detector
David A Rosenfeld, Gregory G. Allen · 1991
Performance Anomalies, segments of a program which demand many more computational resources than the source code implies, are inevitable results of high-level languages and software engineering techniques. The Code Performance Anomaly Detector (CPAD) is a software agent which runs as part of the EACM (Expert Avionics Code Modification) Environment, a system specifically designed to aid software maintenance. This paper outlines the architecture of EACM, and describes the design of the CPAD as an agent within the overall system.
