Abstract: How much do two profiles of the same program differ? When has a profile changed enough to warrant reexamination of the profiled program? And how should two or more profiles be combined to make a better hybrid profile? To answer these questions, we borrow concepts from information theory that measure the differences between the distributions of random variables. Treating the distribution of execution frequencies in a profile like the distribution of a random variable lets us use metrics of... (Update)
