Historical Perspective (3)


Now (2002)

Module-based solution was ideal
Found oprofile in 2001
Almost ready at the time (0.0.2 release)
Did not require a kernel patch
Fit all requirements including NMI sampling

Currently prospect supports 0.0.9 through 0.2 versions of oprofile
Prospect uses the module only, not the daemon nor oprofile user-space tools
