Abstract

A system and computer-implemented method for determining a runtime of a thread of an application. Synchronization events for a first thread of an application executing on the computer system are received, the synchronization events including at least a first synchronization event and a second synchronization event for the first thread. A first difference between a synchronization event timestamp of the first synchronization event and the synchronization event timestamp of the second synchronization event is calculated. A second difference between an accumulated timestamp of the first synchronization event and the accumulated timestamp of the second synchronization event is calculated. A runtime of the first thread of the application is calculated as a difference between the first difference and the second difference.
