AOP Performance Overhead

Şerban DRĂGĂNESCU, Nicolae ŢĂPUȘ

Abstract:

The overhead is defined as the additional time spent by the AOP application compared to the same application that implements the cross-cutting code manually. There are, usually, theoretical considerations about AOP impact on performance but this paper tries to reveal real numbers on the total overhead in a graphical manner, using a real application (a database) and several database operations, with both compile-time and run-time Java AOP weaving implementations.

Keywords:
aspect, AspectJ, AOP, performance, quantitative, overhead, Java, runtime, compile time
