Abstract

A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program code for profiling an application. Execution of an application is monitored. A set of metrics relating to execution of the application occurring during monitoring execution of the application are collected to form a set of observed metrics. An execution environment overhead occurring with respect to the set of observed events is identified to form an identified execution environment overhead. The set of observed metrics is adjusted using the identified execution environment overhead to form a set of calibrated metrics.
