VTune what analysis produces the DFLOP count?

[Azua_Garcia__Giovann]

Hello,

What VTune analysis produces the DFLOP count for a given application? this would be extremely useful for efortlessly computing the GFlops,

TIA,

Best regards,

Giovanni

There is no associated events to measure flops in predefined analysis. However you can find/use events in supported events, it depends on your using processor. For example, if you working on SandBridge processor, use:

# amplxe-runss -event-list | grep FP_COMP_OPS_EXE
FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.X87
FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_PACKED_DOUBLE
FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_SCALAR_SINGLE
FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_PACKED_SINGLE
FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_SCALAR_DOUBLE

So, MFLOPS Formula = FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.X87 / 1x10e-6 / Elapsed Time

Using event FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.X87 directly in command line without VTune's predefined analysis, refer this article

For information about using FLOPS related events for your processor, read under VTune_amplifier_xe_2013/documentation/help/reference

"What VTune analysis produces the DFLOP count for a given application?"

I presume that DFLOP stands for double precision FLOPs.

Correct I am interested in Double Precision FLoating Point Operations therefore FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_SCALAR_SINGLE and FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_PACKED_SINGLE are of no interest to me. Furthermore, this PC seems to give the total FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.X87 that includes single precision, which is also not interesting to me. I only only want to measure Double Precision events.

How can I do that using VTune?

[Azua_Garcia__Giovann]

OK I found out how to do this. The solution is to create a new Analysis or custom analysis type and add those counters.

Cheers,

Giovanni

I am late with the answer,but anyway it is this counter FP_COMP_OPS_EXE.SSE_PACKED_DOUBLE.
