[PerfSuite-users] Using perfsuite without PAPI

[Frederique Silber-C. <fre...@in...>]

Hello,

I am trying to use Perfsuite to profile a multi-threaded program on a=20
quadripro. I am particularly interested in knowing how much time a=20
thread is spending on each processor. I believe that perfsuite can do=20
that but I can't install PAPI (I am not root  on the quadripro and so I=20
can't path the kernel with perfctr).

I then installed perfsuite without PAPI. And I am getting some results=20
running:

$ psrun -r -p myprogram

The resulting files are for example myprogram.*.19416.mymachine.xml and=20
also myprogram.19416.mymachine.res.xml.

When I watch the results with psprocess

$ psprocess -e myprogram myprogram.*.19416.mymachine.xml

I get this:


File Summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------Samples=20
   Self %  Total %  File

    1519  100.00%  100.00%  ??

Function Summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------Samples=20
   Self %  Total %  Function

    1519  100.00%  100.00%  ??

Function:File:Line Summary
-------------------------------------------------------------------------=
-------Samples=20
   Self %  Total %  Function:File:Line

    1519  100.00%  100.00%  ??:??:0

So there is no detail.

And when I watched the resource utilization, I get this:

$ psprocess myprogram.19416.mymachine.res.xml
CPU time (user, seconds)     : 3.69
CPU time (system, seconds)   : 0.10

but there is no distinction between CPUs and no distinction between threa=
ds.

Is there any way for me to get more information using perfsuite without=20
PAPI than what I already have now? Especially with the names of files,=20
functions and the function lines?

Is there a way to get the time spent by each thread on each processor?

Thank you,
