A method and system of profiling applications that use virtual memory. At
least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods comprising
executing a traced program on a target system (the traced program
comprising a plurality of tasks, each task using a different virtual to
physical memory mapping), obtaining values indicative of a plurality of
states of virtual to physical memory mapping used by a memory management
unit associated with a processor of a target system, and displaying an
indication of a proportion of an execution time the processor of the
target system dedicated to each of a plurality of tasks during the
execution time.
