public interface ExternalProfiler
extends Profiler

External profiler: profilers to be run outside of JVM.

External profilers usually call external tools to get the performance data. It is futile to query any internal JVM facilities in external profiler Java code, because it may not be executed in the benchmarked VM at all.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
Collection<String>	addJVMInvokeOptions(BenchmarkParams params)	Prepend JVM invocation with these commands.
Collection<String>	addJVMOptions(BenchmarkParams params)	Add JVM these options to the run.
Collection<? extends Result>	afterTrial(BenchmarkResult br, long pid, File stdOut, File stdErr)	Run this code after the trial is done.
boolean	allowPrintErr()	If target VM communicates with profiler with standard error, this method can be used to shun the output to console.
boolean	allowPrintOut()	If target VM communicates with profiler with standard output, this method can be used to shun the output to console.
void	beforeTrial(BenchmarkParams benchmarkParams)	Run this code before starting the trial.

Method Detail

addJVMInvokeOptions

Collection<String> addJVMInvokeOptions(BenchmarkParams params)

Prepend JVM invocation with these commands.

Parameters:

params - benchmark parameters used for current launch

Returns:

commands to prepend for JVM launch

addJVMOptions

Collection<String> addJVMOptions(BenchmarkParams params)

Add JVM these options to the run.

Parameters:

params - benchmark parameters used for current launch

Returns:

options to add to JVM launch

beforeTrial

void beforeTrial(BenchmarkParams benchmarkParams)

Run this code before starting the trial. This method will execute before starting the benchmark JVM.

Parameters:

benchmarkParams - benchmark parameters used for current launch

afterTrial

Collection<? extends Result> afterTrial(BenchmarkResult br,
                                        long pid,
                                        File stdOut,
                                        File stdErr)

Run this code after the trial is done. This method will execute after benchmark JVM had stopped.

Parameters:

br - benchmark result that was the result of the trial

stdOut - file containing the standard output from the benchmark JVM

stdErr - file containing the standard error from the benchmark JVM

Returns:

profiler results

allowPrintOut

boolean allowPrintOut()

If target VM communicates with profiler with standard output, this method can be used to shun the output to console. Profiler is responsible for consuming the standard output and printing the relevant data from there.

Returns:

returns true, if profiler allows harness to print out the standard output

allowPrintErr

boolean allowPrintErr()

If target VM communicates with profiler with standard error, this method can be used to shun the output to console. Profiler is responsible for consuming the standard error and printing the relevant data from there.

Returns:

returns true, if profiler allows harness to print out the standard errpr
