I'm reading a book about memery optimization.It's by Kris Kaspersky, and He used the vturn5.0 to make samples.I only have vturn7.1 and 8.0, but some functions(or characters) in the book can not find in my version. I don't know whether I have not used in the right way or the funtions quoted in the book can not use in the new versions.
for example
1)
in the book, he said:
For example, when working with VTune, if you simply click the mov ecx, DWORD PTR [ebp-28] line, the profiler will provide the following information:
Listing 1.5: Penalties for mov ecx, DWORD PTR [ebp-28], Displayed by VTune
Decoder Minimum Clocks = 1 ; Minimum time of decoding: 1 clock
Decoder Average Clocks = 8.7 ; Effective time of decoding: 8.7 clocks
Decoder Maximum Clocks = 86 ; Maximum time of decoding: 86 clocks
Retirement Minimum Clocks = 0 ; Minimum time of retirement: 0 clocks
Retirement Average Clocks = 7.3 ; Effective time of retirement: 7.3 clocks
Retirement Maximum Clocks = 80 ; Maximum time of retirement: 80 clocks
Total Cycles = 80 (00.65%) ; Total time of execution: 80 clocks
Micro-Ops for this instruction = 1 ; Number of micro-ops per instruction: 1
The instruction had to wait 0 cycles for its sources to be ready.
Dynamic Penalty: IC_miss
The instruction was not in the instruction cache, so the processor loaded
the instruction from L2 cache or the main memory.
Occurrences = 1 ; This happened once.
Dynamic Penalty: L2instr_miss
The instruction was not in L2 cache, so the processor loaded the instruc-
tion from the main memory.
Occurrences = 1 ; This occurred once.
Dynamic Penalty: Store_addr_unknown
The load instruction stalled because of the address calculation of the pre-
vious store instruction.
Occurrences = 10 ; This occurred ten times.
but when I clicked the code line, the assistanct advisor apeared, and gave me nothing about that.

in the book
" Now, establish the Dynamic Analysis Entry Point by clicking the button with the right-arrow. Proceed in a similar manner to specify the Dynamic Analysis Exit Point: Scroll the screen down, find the last line of the CalculateCRC function (it contains a single command, ret), click it, then click the toolbar button with the left-arrow. Now, choose the following commands from the menu: Run/Dynamic Analysis Session. In the dialog box that appears, select the processor model to be emulated (PIII, in this example) and click Start. The profiler will restart the program. After running it for a couple of minutes, the profiler will display a screen similar to the one in Fig. 1.9(in the attachment). "
thanks for answer
