Abstract
This document relates to memory access profiling. One example relates to a method or technique that can include obtaining samples collected when executing an application, the samples comprising sampled register values that were present in one or more registers of a processor when the samples were collected. The method or technique can also include identifying sampled instructions of the application that were executing when the samples were collected and other instructions of the application. The method or technique can also include evaluating the sampled instructions and one or more of the other instructions using the sampled register values to identify memory accesses by the application. The method or technique can also include outputting the identified memory accesses.
