1. A method, comprising:

  • accessing an event set comprising a plurality of events, wherein each event represents a runtime event that occurred during execution of a software application and comprises a plurality of respective extended address element values; and

    applying a user-specified cost function to the event set;

    wherein said applying comprises;

    determining a respective profiling object identifier value for each of one or more events in the event set dependent on one of the plurality of respective extended address element values comprised in the event, wherein the one of the plurality of respective extended address element values corresponds to a hardware component, a software construct, or a data allocation construct associated with the represented runtime event;

    computing a respective cost metric value for each of the one or more events dependent on at least one extended address element value comprised in the event corresponding to a cost associated with the respective profiling object identifier and dependent on the user-specified cost function; and

    returning the respective profiling object identifier value of each of the one or more events and the respective cost metric value of each of the one or more events.
