We will take a deep dive into the guts of Honest-Profiler, an unbiased sampling CPU profiler for the JVM, and the JVM internals which enable it to work.
• Introduction: CPU profiling, sampling and biases explained.
• How does it hang together? interrupts, non-blocking code and an unofficial API
• Sampling the instruction pointer: how it works and limits of accuracy
• Walking the stack: demangling a mixed Java/native stack, challenges and limitations
• Reading a profile: flat profile vs. tree profile vs. flamegraphs
The talk will include some counter examples from other profilers(JVisualVM/JMC/YourKit/ZVision).
