Method/function invocation trace logging

shuhao_z_ — Mon, 25 Apr 2016 14:22:22 GMT

I want to analysis a large open-sourced java framework with Vtune Amplifier.

In particular, I want to log the method invocation sequences during its execution.

Each output entry should contains "method name, calling time, existing time". (Either instruction level or method level.)

How may I have it using Vtune? Currently, Vtune reports the aggregated information, e.g., the number of instructions retired each method, but I need the execution sequence.

Any helps are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi:

You should try the "Basic Hotspots" analysis type, though, I am not sure what you mean by "calling time, existing time". Perhaps you could clarify.

Remember, VTune Amplifier is not a tracing tool. It is a performance profiler that uses statistical sampling to show a representation of where your application is spending most of its time. However, Basic Hotspots will show you the total amount of time spent in a function and the amount of time spent in functions called by the function.
