Java Mixed-Mode Flame Graphs
Recently, I wrote a blog post on " Java CPU Flame Graphs ". That blog post shows how to use Linux perf_events to generate Java Mixed-Mode Flame Graphs. With Java Profilers, we can get information about Java process only. However with Java Mixed-Mode Flame Graphs, we can see how much CPU time is spent in Java methods, system libraries and the kernel. Mixed-mode means that the Flame Graph shows profile information from both system code paths and Java code paths. This is sometimes very important to identify performance issues.
