.NET Multi-threading test scenario /
profiler comparison results
Test scenario is a multi-threading test of 100 concurrent threads performing object allocations.
In each test case the threads are started and terminated by the tester program for 50 times.
The test scenario is repeated 15 times.
The test was performed with the following. NET profilers:
- without Profiler
- Ants 6.0
- DotTrace 4.0
- SpeedTrace Pro 3.4
- Visual Studio 2010
- AQTime 6.0
DotTrace 4.0, Ants 6.0 failed the test because they are not able to present any test results.
SpeedTrace, AQTime and Visual Studio provide test results whereas AQTime adds major runtime (>1000%) overhead,
Visual Studio adds runtime overhead (> 300 %) and consumes much time to show the results.
Only SpeedTrace traces the application without big interference, so accurate results will be presented.
