Hi, I need to profile an application compiled with intel's compiler via VC++. I'm using VTune to profile my code. My understanding is that in release mode I won't have the debug information that is necessary for the profiler to profile my code while in debug mode, the result of the profiling will not be pertinent. What should I do ? I...
Running through all the questions on profiling tools, I was surprised to discover VTune by Intel that I hadn't heard of before. At $700, it is even more expensive than AQTime. But before I make the decision to put down the big bucks for AQTime, has anyone used VTune for Delphi, and if so, do you think it has any benefits that may make ...
Hi, I got some very strange errors with Intel Vtune utilities. I have run: vtl activity -c callgraph -c sampling -app ./vtunedemo -moi ./vtunedemo run to collect data. And, $ vtl show VTune(TM) Performance Environment Copyright (C) 2000-2005 Intel Corporation. All rights reserved. a1__Activity1 r1___Wed Feb 10 16:25:52 2010 ...
I want to measure the running times of selected loops in a C program so as to see what percentage of the total time for executing the program (on linux) is spent in these loops. I should be able to specify the loops for which the performance should be measured. I have tried out several tools (vtune, hpctoolkit, oprofile) in the last few ...
I'm currently trying to optimize the code emitted from a home-made compiler, for a home-made language. I've tried out Intel VTune to see where the bottlenecks are: http://www.imada.sdu.dk/~sorenh07/misc/vtune-assembly-optimization.png I find it very impressive that a "subl"-instruction is responsible for over 38% of the clockticks in a...
I have a profiling issue - imagine I have the following code... void main() { well_written_function(); badly_written_function(); } void well_written_function() { for (a small number) { highly_optimised_subroutine(); } } void badly_written_function() { for (a wastefully and unnecessarily large number) ...
I have used vtune several times in the past, usually without too much trouble. Unfortunately the gaps between each use are often so long that I forget some aspects of how to use it each time. I know that the line number and symbols information needs to be stored somehow. I thought that all that was required was to compile your exe with "...
My job involves system-level performance testing with third party tools that I do not have sources for. I'm also testing Windows, and can use debugging symbols but not Windows source code. I'd like a quantitative way to describe the areas of the host OS my tests cover. There are two big steps to this: identifying what DLLs and functio...
