Techniques are provided for redundant execution by a better processor for intensive dynamic profiling after initial execution by a constrained processor. In an embodiment, a system of computer(s) receives a request to profile particular runtime aspects of an original binary executable. Based on the particular runtime aspects and without accessing source logic, the system statically rewrites the original binary executable into a rewritten binary executable that invokes telemetry instrumentation that makes observations of the particular runtime aspects and emits traces of those observations. A first processing core having low power (capacity) performs a first execution of the rewritten binary executable to make first observations and emit first traces of the first observations. Afterwards, a second processing core performs a second (redundant) execution of the original binary executable based on the first traces. The second execution generates a detailed dynamic performance profile based on the second execution.
