How to collect the detailed analysis of advanced-hotspots results

[Ayam]

Hello,

I am running the application for the advance hotspot analysis using intel vtune. On GUI, this analysis gives me information like Function/Call Stack, CPU Time by Utilization and CPI Rate. I want to get the exact information but using command-line. If I use command

/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe/bin64/amplxe-cl -report hotspots -r r006ah/

the information I get are the columns of Function, Module and CPU Time:Self but CPI Rate column is missing. Can you please give me any idea how to extract CPI Rate using commandline.

Appreciate your help.

Regards,

There is no direct CPI value in report, if you do "amplxe-cl -R hw-events -r r00?ah", You can calculate CPI for specific hot function by using formula, CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD / INST_RETIRED.ANY

Thank you Peter Wang, that will work too.

Appreciate your help.

One more question, why total number of function stack using command "/opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe/bin64/amplxe-cl -report top-down -r r003ah/" are different then the function calculated using  /opt/intel/vtune_amplifier_xe/bin64/amplxe-cl -report hw-events -r r003ah/.

Can I make them consistent? What I mean is; the function that is taking more time i need to get the CPI rate of that function.

No. There is no call stack info if your don't add "-knob collection-detail=stack-sampling", top-down report only displays function's self-time without callers' info.

You still need to use hw-events report to calculate CPI value, top-down report don't provide instructions retired counts.
