Goals and Methodology of our Experiments
 Goals
 Identify Harmony performance opportunities using TPTP
 Integrate TPTP into our performance methodology
 Approach
 Start simple…
 Verify that we can recognize known performance issues w/ TPTP
 Understand how opportunities manifest in TPTP
 Understand current limitations of TPTP and Harmony JVMTI
 Fix critical issues along the way
 Grow…
 Move forward looking for new opportunities to optimize Harmony
 Use TPTP more regularly
 Suggest TPTP & Harmony JVMTI enhancements for our use case
Most of what we show today is in the “Start Simple” category

Apache* Harmony Overview
Primary Goal of Harmony
 “a large and healthy community of those interested in runtime
platforms”
Creation of
 “A compatible, independent implementation of the Java SE 5
JDK under the Apache License v2”
 “A community-developed modular runtime (VM and class
library) architecture.”
Why?
 Enables innovation/research and adoption
 w/o license restrictions that limit consumption

Apache* Harmony Overview (continued)
 Why J2SE 5?
 “Starting with Java SE 5, as that is the first version of Java SE for
which the licensing allows an open source implementation”
 “Continue with Java SE 6 and any subsequent versions that follow.”
 Who all is using Apache* Harmony technology?
 Since its an open license, we don’t know for sure… but to name a few

Harmony is a clean room implementation of J2SE spec
distributed under Apache* V2 license

Eclipse* TPTP Profiling Tool Overview
 Broadly useful for performance analysis and for gaining a
deeper understanding of a Java* program
 Consists of the Profiling and Logging Perspective and a
number of graphical and tabular views
 Visualize program execution and threading behavior;
Pinpoints operations taking most resources; Explore patterns
of program behavior
 Enables you to test your application's performance early in
the programming development cycle for improvements
 Option to run application with agent at near full speed
(enabled mode) and attach later at certain application phase.
 Assorted filtering functionality which can help to localize
problem and reduce overhead for large long run applications

The New Java* Profiler (JVMTI) vs. JVMPI
 Java* 5.0 introduced new standards for profiling
 Prior to Java* 5.0 (Java* 1.4-) the standards and the interfaces
to support profiling (JVMPI) were experimental
 Java* J2SE 6 eliminated JVMPI interface
 The new standard (JVMTI): an innovative solution to profiling;
enables precise control over application parts to profile
 Eclipse* TPTP has embraced this innovation and the new Java
profiler is based on this new standard
 In Eclipse* TPTP old Java profiler (JVMPI) still exists
 Only for backward compatibility with Java 1.4
 Because of JVMPI/JVMTI interface differences there are some
differences in behavior between old and new profiler
 Eclipse* TPTP will eventually remove Old Java* profiler

 Using feedback from users
 Reduce usability diffs between JVMPI and JVMTI…
 e.g., SSL for secure communications
 e.g., Reduce overuse of dynamic attach/detach
 Enhancements
 e.g., Better multithread analysis
 Improved visualization
 Contended lock analysis
 Track more thread states (e.g., join points)
 e.g., Efficient binary transfer format
 e.g., Better Java* 6 support

Motivation of using TPTP on Harmony
When you have 1.6 million lines of Java* code…
Using TPTP for Harmony performance analysis:
startup optimizations.
 Team already uses profiling tools extensively
Intel® VTune™ tools heavily used
Correlation of architectural events to assembly code
VM and JIT code quality analysis and great optimization
Mainly use batch mode (execute then perform offline analysis)
Want to also do higher level Java* language centered analysis
Rich Java* centered analysis of call graph
Package and Class and Method summarization
Java* Thread and Heap analysis
Ideally continue with batch mode analysis model
 Why TPTP Profiler?
Leverage open source to create open source
Maximize collaboration potential w/ engineer next door

Harmony analysis with TPTP: Startup performance
 Consider simplest workloads
 Hello World
 Startup phase of a GUI application
 Goal
 Understand detailed end to end behavior
 Find inefficiencies in class libraries for optimization
 Approach
 Disable default filters in TPTP
 Collect trace
 Analyze
 Discoveries from our first use of TPTP
 Even for small apps, data volume can be huge w/o filters
 Several TPTP usability bugs; fixes targeted for Ganymede
 Xml4profiling lacks command line tool for tsv/csv dumps

A few words on filtering in TPTP
 Collection Time Filtering
 Pro: Reduce data volume and instrumentation overhead (critical)
 Con: Data for excluded classes/method can never be seen
 Model Import Filtering
 Pro: Reduce workbench memory footprint (critical on 32bit OSes)
 Con: Can only see data that is in the model
 View Level Filtering
 Pro: Remove items from being visualized in the workbench
 Con: Does not reduce data volume or model footprint

More advanced study: SPECjbb* 2005
 Analyze more complex, long running, workload
 Snapshot performance during workload steady-state
 We use SPECjbb* 2005 workload for some of our performance tests
 Goal
 Understand application behavior
 Find inefficiencies in class libraries for optimization
 Ideal Approach
 Disable default filters in TPTP, Collect trace, Analyze
 Would prefer to collect trcxml from our batch scripts then do offline analysis
 Discoveries from our use of TPTP
 Can’t get sufficient detail with filtering; w/o filtering; too much data
 Pause/resume helps… But doesn’t help allow batch mode execution
 Hope for richer control with Application mode in Ganymede
 Avoid attach mode
 Instrumentation during run perturbs performance

Hot methods
• Next() and nextInt() are rather small.
• Typically disappear in JIT inlining
• JIT behavior invisible to TPTP
• Class instrumentation impacts behavior
• Message: be careful with getters/setters/etc
• TPTP can be set to automatically filter them
• We need to see them so we can double check JIT
• No opportunity for tuning... Move along.

What to do next to analyze Harmony with TPTP?
So now that we’ve tried TPTP, what is next?
 Use Eclipse TPTP profiler often to improve Harmony
 Work closely with Eclipse* TPTP developers
 So they better understand how we use TPTP
 Use heap profiler
 Harmony’s memory footprint is fairly large
 Target smaller heaps (e.g., for J2SE on smaller devices)
 Already touch tested it
 Use thread profiler
 Particularly excited about optimizing multithreaded Java for
multicore platforms
 Already touch tested it

Eclipse* TPTP -- The New Java* Profiler
 A set of libraries that attach to a JVM for recording Java application's
behavior
 An extensible framework, consisting of a core runtime component
(Martini), an agent managed by the Agent Controller (JPIAgent), and a
set of data collection libraries built on top of the Martini runtime.
 Can be used to identify performance details such as classes or methods
responsible for execution bottlenecks, analyze application heap to find
memory leaks and visualize threading behavior.
 Output in the form of XML fragments (XML4Profiling)
 Can be launched from the Eclipse IDE or as a standalone program using
Java command-line options
 Applications under test can reside in Eclipse workspace, binaries on file
system, or hosted in a J2EE application server.

Apache* Harmony Status: Overall
 API completeness: ~99%
 Remaining 1% is in Swing as well as spread over all code
 Non conformant – Sun* is silent on TCK issue.
 Compatibility is proven by a number of free and commercial apps
running on Harmony
 VM completeness: ~100% (according to the spec)
 Interpreter, 2 JITs, DPGO
 Optimized JIT is based on StarJIT – initially tuned to show best
performance on Intel® Itanium® processors – has a good large enough
set of HLOs
 Parallel, generational GC with innovative algorithms.
 Two commercial-quality VMs are working with Harmony classlibs:
 IBM* J9*
 BEA* JRockit*
 Performance is good on server benchmarks, client still needs
some attention.
 Large set of test suites: Unit, VTS (conformance), reliability, stress,
performance, etc.

How we collected a snapshot w/o filters
1. Configure profiling to save to a file

Destination tab in workbench
2. Configure aggregated stats with 3600 second refresh

Avoid auto refresh… Only manual
3. Start the run and immediately pause collection

4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
Pause button… Could not find a way to start paused…
Wait until steady state reached
Resume collection
Wait a few minutes
Pause collection
Wait for data to come across
Terminate

Do not save
10. Restart Eclipse

Ensures maximum memory available for file import
11. Import from where you saved file in (1).
