Window: Summary - Memory Consumption

Use the Summary window as your starting point of the Memory Consumption analysis with the Intel® VTune™ Profiler and identify top memory-consuming functions and memory allocation sizes. To access this window, select the Memory Consumptionviewpoint and click the Summary sub-tab in the result tab.

Depending on the analysis type, the Summary window provides the following application-level statistics in the Memory Consumption viewpoint:

NOTE:

Click the Copy to Clipboard button to copy the content of the selected summary section to the clipboard.

Analysis Metrics

The first section displays the summary statistics on the overall application execution:

All metric names are hyperlinks. Clicking such a hyperlink opens the Bottom-up window and sorts the data in the grid by the selected metric.

Top Memory-Consuming Objects

This section displays a list of top memory-consuming functions. For example, the foo function has the highest Memory Consumption metric value and could be a candidate for optimization:

Collection and Platform Info

This section provides the following data:

Application Command Line

Path to the target application.

Operating System

Operating system used for the collection.

Computer Name

Name of the computer used for the collection.

Result Size

Size of the result collected by the VTune Profiler.

Collection start time

Start time (in UTC format) of the external collection. Explore the Timeline pane to track the performance statistics provided by the custom collector over time.

Collection stop time

Stop time (in UTC format) of the external collection. Explore the Timeline pane to track the performance statistics provided by the custom collector over time.

Collector type

Type of the data collector used for the analysis. The following types are possible:

CPU Information

Name

Name of the processor used for the collection.

Frequency

Frequency of the processor used for the collection.

Logical CPU Count

Logical CPU count for the machine used for the collection.

Physical Core Count

Number of physical cores on the system.

User Name

User launching the data collection. This field is available if you enabled the per-user event-based sampling collection mode during the product installation.

GPU Information

Name

Name of the Graphics installed on the system.

Vendor

GPU vendor.

Driver

Version of the graphics driver installed on the system.

Stepping

Microprocessor version.

EU Count

Number of execution units (EUs) in the Render and GPGPU engine. This data is Intel® HD Graphics and Intel® Iris® Graphics (further: Intel Graphics) specific.

Max EU Thread Count

Maximum number of threads per execution unit. This data is Intel Graphics specific.

Max Core Frequency

Maximum frequency of the Graphics processor. This data is Intel Graphics specific.

Graphics Performance Analysis

GPU metrics collection is enabled on the hardware level. This data is Intel Graphics specific.

NOTE:

Some systems disable collection of extended metrics such as L3 misses, memory accesses, sampler busyness, SLM accesses, and others in the BIOS. On some systems you can set a BIOS option to enable this collection. The presence or absence of the option and its name are BIOS vendor specific. Look for the Intel® Graphics Performance Analyzers option (or similar) in your BIOS and set it to Enabled.
