Implement Code level Performance Analysis using the PMUv3 plugin

Who is this for?

Engineers who want to carry out C/C++ performance analysis by instrumenting code at the block level.

What will you learn?

Upon completion of this Learning Path, you will be able to:

• Generate a fine-grained, precise measurement of functions and other sections of code.
• Instrument your code to analyze a single section or multiple sections using the provided instrumentation scenarios.
• Run and collect performance metrics and raw event values for any of the 15 event groups (bundles) in a single run.
• Use a tool to plot raw PMU event values along with KPI metric values such as MPKI, stalls, and IPC to aid performance visualization.

Prerequisites

Before starting, you will need the following:

• An Arm-based computer running Linux.
• Some familiarity with Linux application performance analysis.
