Abstract
Thread blocking synchronization event analysis software uses kernel context switch data and thread unblocking data to form a visualization of thread synchronization behavior. The visualization provides interactive access to source code responsible for thread blocking, identifies blocking threads and blocked threads, summarizes execution delays due to synchronization and lists corresponding APIs and objects, correlates thread synchronization events with application program phases, and otherwise provides information associated with thread synchronization. The visualization may operate within an integrated development environment.
