The
Intel®
Advisor
Trip Counts tool
runs your target, collects
data about loops, and adds the collected information into the Survey Report. To
prepare your target program, see
Minimizing Data
Collection Result Size and Execution Time (Trip Counts) and
Before Running the
Trip Counts Tool.
You can run the Trip
Counts tool
:
-
Within the Intel Advisor GUI by using the File > New menu, the Advisor Workflow tab, or the toolbar icons after you open a project.
-
Using the advixe-cl command line, by specifying the --collect option after you open a project.
Similarly, you can view the collected data in the Survey Report and related windows by using the standalone GUI or the command line.
Use the Trip Counts tool before you have modified your serial program to use parallel execution. By observing loops during execution, the tool finds the amount of iterations per loop. The data collected and analyzed appears in the Survey Report window. You can find the average, minimal, and maximal loop iterations during execution, as well as the number of loop calls and loop iteration durations.
