The Sampling Collector

The Sampling Collector is a graphical tool that is available from the Sun WorkShop debugger. When you execute your application, the Sampling Collector collects performance data from the kernel; this is called an experiment. The Sampling Collector writes the data it collects to a file that is called an experiment record. The experiment record includes resource usage data, program memory usage data, and execution profile data with or without called-function times.
