More Information
Summary:Methods and systems for performance inference include inferring an internal application status based on a unified call stack trace that includes both user and kernel information by inferring user function instances. A calling context encoding is generated that includes information regarding function calling paths. Application performance is analyzed based on the encoded calling contexts. The analysis includes performing a top-down latency breakdown and ranking calling contexts according to how costly each function calling path is.
