Appeal No. 1997-2658
Application No. 08/478,974
The claimed invention relates to a program tuning adviser
in which code samples are analyzed and critical regions of
program code are identified. More particularly, Appellants
indicate at pages 3 and 4 of the specification that the tuning
advisor suggests improvements to the source code related to
the displayed graphical views of the identified critical
program code regions.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
1. In a computer system including a central processing unit
(CPU) and a number of program modules running on said CPU, a
method comprising steps of:
(A) collecting code samples from one of said modules;
(B) analyzing said samples to identify critical regions
in said code samples;
(C) displaying a first graphical view of said critical
regions;
(D) displaying source code related to a particular one
critical region selected by a user from said first graphical
view of said critical regions resulting in displayed source
code;
(E) running a performance tuning advisor on a code
portion selected by a user from said displayed source code,
said performance tuning advisor providing optimization advice
related to said code portion; and,
