Hotspot View by Address (vtl)

This information applies to the command-line interface (vtl) only.

To group hotspots by Relative Virtual Address (RVA) from the command line, use the -hotspot-address (or -ha) option and specify module name(s) with the -module-name (or -mn) option.

Command-line example:

>vtl view -ha -mn vtunedemo

The VTune(TM) Performance Analyzer will display the percentage of samples collected for each hotspot in the module as it occurs in memory.

The following information is available in the table format for hotspots grouped by address:

Column Heading

Description

Instruction Pointer

Relative Virtual Address (RVA) of the function. Relative location in memory to the base address of the application.

Function Offset

Offset of a function segment.

Function

Name of the function.

Full Name

Name of the function as it appears in your code.

Event

Name of the monitored event.

Events%

Percentage of total events collected in run.

Samples

Number of samples collected for the event.

Events

The event count is based on the number of samples collected X Sample After value.

Segment

Segment used by function.

Process ID

The system provides each process with an ID to distinguish it from the other.

Module

Module in which the function resides.

The path of the module in which the function resides.

CPU

Logical CPU where the samples were collected.

note

The command line VTune analyzer can display function names only if the symbol information is available in the executable. It does not support other symbol files, such as .map and .pdb. However, you may use the -symbol-dir (or -sd) option to specify the directory/directories where to have the VTune analyzer search for the symbol file. For more details, see the Specifying the Symbol Directory topic.
