该项目介绍了一种应用软件框架称为心跳（或只是心跳的简称），提供了一个简单的，来监督他们的表现，使这些信息提供给外部观测器应用标准化的方法。

Adaptive, or self-aware, computing has been proposed as one method to help application programmers confront the growing complexity of multicore software development. However, existing approaches to adaptive systems are largely ad hoc and often do not manage to incorporate the true performance goals of the applications they are designed to support. This project proposed an enabling technology for adaptive computing systems: Application Heartbeats. The Application Heartbeats framework provides a simple, standard programming interface that applications can use to indicate their performance and system software (and hardware) can use to query an application"s performance. Note: version 1.2 now available - this fixes several bugs users identified in version 1.1
