https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/What-are-the-recommended-gcc-optimization-flags/m-p/820313#M1246 I am working with a developer that asked the following question:<BR /><BR /><P>1. What are the recommended gcc optimization flags for a concurrency analysis? We generally I use -pg -p -O2, and sometimes -finline-functions. For a concurrency test, I can see the CPU usage for different libraries, but it doesn't have the symbol info for each function, etc. Those same options work fine for a hotspot analysis (though the -finline-functions removes some symbols, but not all).</P><P>2. Is there some way to annotate each test result so it can be remembered what was done to them? The test names are written with folder names like r00hs or things like that.</P> Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:51:25 GMT Wongster 2011-09-30T16:51:25Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/What-are-the-recommended-gcc-optimization-flags/m-p/820313#M1246 I am working with a developer that asked the following question:<BR /><BR /><P>1.

Those flags should be OK for the Intel Concurrency Checker. But for testing the mechanics of his parallelization, optimizaiton (-O2) should be disabled.<BR /><BR />Here are some links to resources that may help him: <A href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2011/06/30/new-to-parallel-programming/">http://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2011/06/30/new-to-parallel-programming/</A><BR /><BR />Concurrency Improvement Center: <A href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/concurrency-improvement-center/">http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/concurrency-improvement-center/</A><BR /><BR />Although, from your description it sounds like hemay beasking aboutIntel VTune Amplifier XE. I believe that is what "hotspot analysis" refers to. If that's what he is using, it's best if he post questions to the forum at <A href="http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-vtune-performance-analyzer/">http://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/intel-vtune-performance-analyzer/</A>where the dedicated support engineers can assist him.<BR /><BR />I hope that helps.<BR /><BR />Best regards,<BR /><BR />==<BR />Aubrey W.<BR />Intel Software Network Support Fri, 30 Sep 2011 20:33:15 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/What-are-the-recommended-gcc-optimization-flags/m-p/820314#M1247 Aubrey_W_ 2011-09-30T20:33:15Z
