  The web ecosystem is rapidly evolving with changing business and functional
models. Cloud platforms are available in a SaaS, PaaS and IaaS model designed
around commoditized Linux based servers. 10 billion users will be online and
accessing the web and its various content. The industry has seen a convergence
around IP based technology. Additionally, Linux based designs allow for a
system wide profiling of application characteristics. The customer is an OEM
who provides Linux based servers for telecom solutions. The end customer will
develop business applications on the server. Customers are interested in a
latency profiling mechanism which helps them to understand how the application
behaves at run time. The latency profiler is supposed to find the code path
which makes an application block on I/O, and other synchronization primitives.
This will allow the customer to understand the performance bottleneck and tune
the system and application parameters.
