Wing Hang Li is a student studying an MSc in Information Technology at Glasgow University has developed a Java Fork Join Profiler which aims to expose some of the behaviour of programs using the Fork Join library. It does this using an instrumented version of the jsr166y library and other tools like HProf. Currently it can show the number of tasks within the Fork Join pool, the mean and standard deviation of those tasks within the worker threads, the amount of garbage collection taking place and the amount of activity within each method. He’s looking for volunteers to help his research/project by supplying stats/profiles of real code using Fork/Join. Java 6 version, Java 7 version, any comments/feedback sent them do 1001759l@student.gla.ac.uk, or take the survey.
