Abstract - DTrace and Java: Slicing the Software Stack
DTrace is the revolutionary tracing framework new in the Solaris 10 operating system. It has been lauded for its ability to offer new insight into system performance, but developers and systems administrators have only begun to use DTrace to explore Java-based applications. With DTrace, you can investigate your application with or without the source code and iterate from hypothesis to data gathering to analysis more quickly than with any other tool. DTrace allows for in-depth analysis into an individual application and the interaction between applications.
It also is the only tool on any operating system that allows developers and system administrators to explore the interaction between Java code, the VM, and low-level kernel facilities, such as I/O and thread scheduling.
DTrace offers something for anyone doing analysis of Java at any level of the software stack.
