Asking for how using the intel vtune amplifier tool

[amina-jarraya]

Hello,

I'm using the intel Vtune amplifier xe 2011
When i execute the command line amplxe-cl -g -collect hotspots /bin/ls, i have the following output :

I don't know even it works fine.

If yes, how can i see the %time execution, the state for every core ?
the %time execution for every procedure on the program ?
is there a command line that generate an interface to show all information about execution time for procedures, for each core, etc as same as the valgrind tool ( command kcachegrind callgrind.out.xxx) on linux ?

Thank you in advance,

You can use below to display report:
amplxe-cl -report summary -r r000hs
amplxe-cl -report hotspots -r r000hs

Note that "/bin/ls" process ran shortly, there is no hot function (which belongs to ls module,orother libraries - for example glibc) to bedetected. Please run target application/functions > 10ms, then the tool can detect hot functions.

i run the first command after executing the command "amplxe-cl -collect hotspots /bin/ls" :

=> i don't have any result!!

is there a problem ?

my program must be run more than 10 ms to be detected ?

if yes, is there another tool ?

Thank you,

[amina-jarraya]

Even i run the command line amplxe-gui, i don't have any analysis for my result file.
you can see the attachement picture.

What I said is that hot function should run more than 10ms, please try this way:

#cd /
#amplxe-cl -collect hotspots -duration 10 /bin/ls -l -R
# amplxe-cl -report hotspots

Note there is no symbol info in "ls", use "[ls]" instead of hot function name.
