• Technical report TR10-05. Profiling monitors a program's execution flow via the insertion of counters at key points in the program. Profiling information can then be used by a compiler's optimization passes to increase the performance of frequently executed sections of code. This document describes the implementation of edge profiling, path profiling and a method with which to combine profiles in the Low Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) compiler infrastructure. | TRID-ID TR10-05
