.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program is designed to run various tests against your systems
|
|
performance.
|
|
There are roughly 20-22 canned tests that setup specific
|
|
PMCs and then run various formulas on the output information.
|
|
These formulas can be found in Intel documentation "Using Intel Vtune
|
|
amplifier xe on NNN Generation Intel Core Processors".
|
|
The NNN is either
|
|
2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th generation i.e., Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell and Broadwell.
|
|
Currently the program only works on these four Intel processor types.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl i Ar filename
|
|
If this option is supplied, instead of running a
|
|
.Xr pmcstat 8
|
|
command to collect the current running information the filename will be read
|
|
in as input instead.
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
This option will display the complete list of canned formulas that can be run including
|
|
their names which can be input to the
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Fl e Ar name
|
|
Execute the canned test
|
|
.Ar name
|
|
on the running kernel.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
If you add this option to the
|
|
.Fl e
|
|
option the test will not execute but instead give you a small description
|
|
of the test that would run.
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
This option will execute a test of every PMC to validate that they are working
|
|
on your system.
|
|
If a PMC does not show up in this test chances
|
|
are the kernel
|
|
.Xr hwpmc 4
|
|
driver needs updating with new PMC information.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar num
|
|
This option can restrict the number of one second samples that will
|
|
be collected by your system when running a test (it bounds the
|
|
time the test will run).
|
|
Without this option the test will run
|
|
for 1024 seconds or until the user types ctrl-c.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
The verbose option adds debugging output to the command.
|
|
.It Fl E Ar expression
|
|
This option can be used by those that have their own ideas
|
|
on what formulas they want to run.
|
|
The expression given to the
|
|
.Fl E
|
|
option is a "formula".
|
|
The formula can declare directly the PMCs by name
|
|
or you can use an abbreviation %NNN.
|
|
To find out the abbreviations
|
|
on your system you may run the
|
|
.Fl L
|
|
option.
|
|
An example of a formula of your own might be
|
|
.Fl E
|
|
"FP_ASSIST.ANY / INST_RETIRED.ANY_P" or using the abbreviations on a
|
|
Haswell machine you would type
|
|
.Fl E
|
|
" %176 / %150".
|
|
You must have spaces between each entry and
|
|
you may use parentheses to prioritize the operators.
|
|
Add (+), Subtract (-),
|
|
Divide (/) and Multiplication (*) are supported.
|
|
You may also introduce
|
|
constant numbers.
|
|
For example you can do a standard efficiency
|
|
test like
|
|
.Fl E
|
|
"UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS / (4 * CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_P)".
|
|
.It Fl L
|
|
This option will list all known PMCs and their abbreviation (%NNN).
|
|
.It Fl A
|
|
Run all canned tests.
