Is porting to ARM or MIPS(both under Linux) of TPTP AgentController and
JVMTI Agent planned?

No, we don't have any plans to support this platforms by now.

Thanks,
Alex.

Is there anyone who tried to port TPTP JVMTI agent and agent controller to
ARM or MIPS platforms?

Q to TPTP contributors : what is your estimation about agent and agent
controller dependencies on CPU type - how many files are CPU-dependent ?

With regard to the profiler Agent and runtime libraries (CGProf,
HeapProf, ThreadProf, JPIAgent, JPI, JPIBootLoader, etc), the majority
of the code is "pure" C++ and depends on JVMTI and JNI. Most of the
OS/Architecture-specific code is encapsulated in an OS Abstraction
Library (MartiniOSA.DLL).

Porting this code to another platform largely depends on whether you
have a JVM for this platform that fully supports JVMTI and JNI.

If you have any specific questions on these components, feel free to
post them here and I'll do my best to answer.

First - thanks for your answers.

Now I'm checking files you mentioned.

But as i understood i need to have an ability of online profiling i need 2
parts running on target machine:
1) Agent Controller
2) JVMTI runtime libraries(JPIBootLoaadet, JPIAgent CGProf etc )

And AC has lot of dependencies on the OS layer( and some CPU dependent
code - inline aseembler for example) - am i right?

According to architecture scheme found in
http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=4&url=h ttp%3A%2F%2F195.113.20.55%2Fteaching%2Fseminars%2F2007-04-18 -Bondari-Profiling.pdf&ei=WzKTR--uGZn2nQOe1JSHDg&usg =AFQjCNHViCbJZqVE3EgI0mpNe8bCcM0p0w&sig2=qZQscnMU4yuc9UU 3RMSRvA
There is dedicated channel for data transfer(Distribured Data Collection
Framework) - so according to this scheme there is a possiblity to have
remote profiling without porting Agent Controller - isnt it ?

No, Agent Controller should be ported as well.
Agents and Agent Controller use named pipes for logging and control
messages exchange and shared memory for data transfer. This piece is
platform dependant.
