PROFILING AND OPTIMIZATION OF COMPILER-GENERATED CODE

The technology disclosed herein enables a processing device to receive program code comprising a plurality of program code instructions, wherein the plurality of program code instructions comprise at least one profiling instruction, wherein the program code is loaded from an executable program file that specifies a persistent memory region; and execute the program code including the at least one profiling instruction, wherein to execute the at least one profiling instruction, the processing device is to: identify a memory location in the persistent memory region in view of a profiling identifier included in the at least one profiling instruction, generate a profiling information item, and store the profiling information item in the persistent memory region at the identified memory location.
