(Two or three paragraphs about your project, the problem you are trying to solve, and any obstacles you may hit.)

(Details as to how you intend to approach the problem, if applicable. May include ideas as to how to break the problem down into smaller parts, or notes on research you need to do before settling on your final approach to solving the problem)

The project will be broken into the following distinct components:

• Profiling data recording and access via library API
• Lock order reversal recording and access via library API
• Logging of statistics to a file
