Scripting for running automated Vtune experiments.

[sharshera]

I have 40 test cases that I want to push through Vtune and I want to get their callgraphs on the same peice of code.

I currently do that manually with vtlec.

I have used vtl before but I wonder is there a way where I can save the output result of vtl and then just view it with vtlec later on.

Thank you guys very much.

After you've collected data using vtl:

1) pack the data, creating a .vxp file

$ vtl pack filename.vxp

2) Then import that .vxp file using vtlec:

File --> import

Works like a champ!

IF however, all you want is a gui to view your sampling and callgraph data from vtl, try the plug in viewers:

$ vtl view # show me the ASCII data from my last activity

or

$ vtl view -gui # show me the same data, but with a viewer

See what you think.

How to differentiate between different .vxp files?

I have 20 or more experiments, how to know which one is which, there is lots of vxp files under my workspace?


Thanks very much.

The pack option packs up the entire project. You pick the file name at least the part before the .vxp.

To experiment, I'd suggest running vtl in a new directory, create a single profiling experiment, and then pack that up, import it to the GUI, see if this is going to be what you need or not.

For more:

$ man vtl

(look for pack option)
