You can use the record command to spawn the Python process and pin it to the core specified by the -c option.
A double-dash (--) syntax in shell commands signifies the end of command options and beginning of positional arguments.
This means that it separates the wperf CLI options from the arguments passed to the profiled program called python_d.exe.
Run the record command with SPE to collect load events from SPE:
wperf record -e arm_spe_0/ld=1/ -c 1 --timeout 5 -- cpython\PCbuild\arm64\python_d.exe -c 10**10**100
You can use the same --annotate and --disassemble command line arguments with the SPE extension.
The WindowsPerf record command is versatile, allowing you to start and stop the sampling process easily. It also simplifies the command-line syntax, making it user-friendly and efficient.
The example above can be replaced by these two commands:
start /affinity 2 cpython\PCbuild\arm64\python_d.exe -c 10**10**100
wperf sample -e arm_spe_0/ld=1/ --pe_file cpython\PCbuild\arm64\python_d.exe --image_name python_d.exe -c 1
