USENIX 2002 Annual Conference - Technical Program Abstract
Simple and General Statistical Profiling with PCT

Abstract
The Profile Collection Toolkit (PCT) provides a novel generalized
CPU profiling facility.
PCT enables arbitrarily late profiling activation and
arbitrarily early report generation.
PCT usually requires no re-compilation, re-linking, or even re-starting of
programs.
Profiling reports gracefully degrade with available debugging data.
