Opening performance analyser in Sun Studio 12

I want to know how to open performance analyzer in sun studio 12?

Yes, Maxim is right, you can start Performance Analyzer standalone tool:
# analyzer
Or you can use it from Sun Studio IDE: main menu "Advanced -> Advanced Profiling -> Start".
It will run your "main" project under "collect", and show the results.
Thanks,
Nik

Can't use profiler (Performance Analyzer) in Sun Studio 12, please help!!

Hi,
I've mandriva 2008 (linux), and I've installed Sun Studio 12.
At the first start of Sun Studio a message appear:
Warning - could not install some modules:
     ATD Sun Studio Core - The module named com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon was needed and not found.
     dbx Debugger UI - The module named com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon was needed and not found.
     ATD Performance Analyzer Actions - The module named com.sun.forte.st.mpmt/1 was needed and not found.
     ATD Performance Analyzer Actions - The module named com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon was needed and not found.
All other modules works correctly, but unfortunately I need the profiler (performance analyzer) because I want to speed up my C++ code. What can I do???
Please help!
NOTE:
I've added to my .bash_profile this lines:
PATH=/opt/sun/sunstudio12/bin:$PATH
export PATH
PATH=/opt/sun/sunstudio12/man/:$PATH
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/sun/sunstudio12/prod/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
but unfortunately this don't solve the problem....

If I type `uname -p` this message appear:
[mlx@localhost ~]$ `uname -p`
bash: Intel(R): command not foundIf I type: --userdir won't work as you can see:
sunstudio --userdir /home/mlx/.sunstudio/12.0-Linux-Intel$R$\ Pentium$R$\ M\ processor\ 1.73GHz/I get an 426 line error (but this is the correct location, as man of sunstudio say), while if I type for example:
sunstudio --userdir /home/mlx/error 426 disappears, but I get anyway the error on the module:
Warning - could not install some modules:
     ATD Performance Analyzer Actions - The module named com.sun.forte.st.mpmt/1 was needed and not found.
     ATD Performance Analyzer Actions - The module named com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon was needed and not found.
     dbx Debugger UI - The module named com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon was needed and not found.
     ATD Sun Studio Core - The module named com.sun.tools.swdev.toolscommon was needed and not found.On the other hand I've searched the "id" exe and it is in /bin:
[mlx@localhost ~]$ id
uid=500(mlx) gid=500(mlx) gruppi=500(mlx)so I've created a sym link:
cd /usr/bin
ln -s /bin/id ./idbut when I start Sun Studio 12 I get again the error on the module.
So I've tryed to reinstall everything (yes, also OS) but it (partially) solves only the problem installing with batch_installer. Infact now I can use batch_installer but at the end of installation it say:
[root@localhost tmp]# ./batch_installer --accept-sla
Installation failed: cleanup successful.Anyway SunStudio 12 still works, but the main problem about the module of performance analyzer is still here...
how can I solve this? Please help!

In general, if you are having a problem compiling Open Source code with Sun Studio, you need to try the community support portal for that code.
Start with the Iperf home page
[http://starplane.org/tooldoc/iperf/]
Often, Open Source code has been tried only with gcc, and won't build with other compilers without some effort.
If nobody else has tried using Sun Studio, you might need to do some debugging of configuration scripts and even source code.
The Iperf home page provides an address where you can report such problems.
In addition, older versions of autoconf and libtool don't work with Sun Studio, and can generate invalid makefiles. Be sure you have the current versions of both, if they are used by Iperf.

How to generate gdb compatible .o for CMT using Sun Studio C compiler?

Hello,
we've been working on a joint project for telco bearer plane applications on CMT.
We started the project using gcc for Sparc and we switched to Sun Studio compiler when we hit some bugs in gcc (optimized mode was not completely stable). The switch took a few weeks due to syntax differences and toolchain option changes.
With Sun Studio we got a double digit percent performance improvement, so Sun Studio proved more stable and faster than gcc.
To debug programs we require gdb, because the Telco customers are more familiar with it. The problem is that Sun Studio generates object files which are not compatible with gdb.
Our main requirement is to be able to generate gdb compatible object files using Sun Studio compiler.
We checked this link:
http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/ReleaseNotes.html
but this seems to be a variant of gcc. At this point we cannot switch compiler because of the performance and stability issues mentioned above and because it will take a few weeks to months to switch.
We have two questions:
1) Is there a way to generate gdb compatible object files using Sun Studio 11?
2) If not, is this funcionality going to be available in a future release of Sun Studio and what is the time frame?
Thanks for your help.

The undefined symbol is in the C++ runtime support library that is part of Solaris. Probably you have an out-fo-date version of the libraries.
You can get current patches from the Sun Studio patch page:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/cc/downloads/patches/index.html
From the page for your version of WorkShop or Sun Studio, select the C++ Runtime Library patch for the version of Solaris that your are running. While you are at it, you can get the current compiler patches as well.
If patching the runtime libraries does not fix the problem, let me know, and also show the exact command lines that you use for compiling and linking the program.

Performance Tools Sun Studio 12 under Ubuntu

I want to use the hardware counter under a x86-64 Ubuntu (Feisty). But the system isn't supported by the performance analyzer and the hardware counter aren't available. Exist any opportunity to use it or should i install red hat enterprise or suse enterprise. Gives there any free OS where the HW counters working?

You can try Sun Studio 12 on any machine you want. The 'unsupported' means: it's your choice, you are at your own risk, you are on your own. However, we still would be willing to hear from you, we would also help if we can. Your input and feedback are welcome!
You can even file RFE on bugs.sun.com if you feel the performance on Ubuntu is better, worth recommended, worth to be added to the 'supported platform' list, etc. Voice of Customer is always welcome too!

Poor performance of string::append on Solaris 10 with Sun Studio 10

I found string::append(size_type num, char ch) of libCstd consumes too much cpu time comparing with stlport. Anybody knows if this is a known issue on Solaris 10 and Sun Studio 10? Or if I need to use special build options to build with libCstd?
For example: a.c
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
string ss;
for ( i=0; i<60000; i++)
ss.append(1, 'A');
cout << clock();
cout << endl;
return 0;
}Build with libCstd:
CC a.c -o a1
Build with stlport:
CC -library=%none -library=stlport4 a.c -o a2
a1 outputs: 10000
a2 outputs: 1900000
You can see how big different they have. I am sure their running environment is same.

I suspect this is due to a bug in libCstd that manifests itself by reallocating the string for each append. Compile and run the program below:
#include <string>
#include <new>
#include <stdlib.h>
int in_main;
void* operator new (size_t nbytes) throw (std::bad_alloc) {
if (in_main) printf ("operator new (%zu)\n", nbytes);
return malloc (nbytes);
void operator delete (void *p) throw () {
if (in_main) printf ("operator delete (%p)\n", p);
free (p);
int main () {
in_main = 1;
std::string ss;
for (int i = 0; i < 256; i++) {
printf ("append(1, 'A')\n");
ss.append (1, 'A');
in_main = 0;
}

Recommendation for new features in next Sun Studio releases

Hello,
I have started using the Sun Studio Express recently and as a feedback to your opening to receive proposals to new features in the next releases of the Sun Studio collection I would want to point some aspects of interest to the programmers in writing good software for embedded systems and not only.
First of all, with regards to the subject of great interest to me in this moment, multicore/multiprocessor parallel programming, I would appreciate the following :
- if the compiler would be extended with new directives to allow the programmer to measure the load of each core and/or processor that is available to him.
- if the compiler would be extended with directives to allow the programmer to get the core ID on which a specific section of code is executed. As en example consider o multithreaded application and in the associated function for each thread read the core ID and function of this value perform specific actions.
- if the compiler would be extended with directives to allow the programmer to get the ID of the processor in the system - supposing a specific system has many multicore processors. (I don't know if this is possible).
- if the compiler would be extended with directives to allow the programmer to specify the core and/or processor on which it wants to be executed a specific process,thread,function,(maybe instruction).
With these macros I think a lot of things can be exercised, one that I think in this moment is the posibility for the programmer to implement his own algorithm of load balancing for the cores and processors of his system.
Another point I would recommend would be that the watch window in the Sun Studio IDE to permit the selection of the format in which the data to be displayed.As an example if I have a U32 variable to be able to select in the watch window the integer ,hexadecimal or binary format in which I would want to be displayed.
Another useful thins that I sought at other IDEs would be a popup window or something similar to select how to see the source code: as a .c file , as an assembler code , or as a mixture of C and assemble.
That's all for the moment, if I see something else I would post another message.
Thank you,
Steve.

These are OS functions, not compiler's. Solaris has a wide selection of ways and tools to assign processes and threads to cpus; processor_bind(2) is a function you can call and pbind(1M) is a tool you can use on a running app. There are more, just google for it.
Another point I would recommend would be that the watch window in the Sun Studio IDE to permit the selection of the format in which the data to be displayed.As an example if I have a U32 variable to be able to select in the watch window the integer ,hexadecimal or binary format in which I would want to be displayed.
Good point. I'll check if there already is an RFE (Request For Enhancement) filed and file one if it's not. Thanks for letting us know!
Another useful thins that I sought at other IDEs would be a popup window or something similar to select how to see the source code: as a .c file , as an assembler code , or as a mixture of C and assemble.
But there is disassembly window already. See screenshot here: http://developers.sun.ru/images/stories/sunstudio/images/sun_studio_dbx.png

Performance analysis on interposed functions

Hi,
This is a repost of http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5156578 mistakenly posted in Sun Studio C++ forum.
I'm using the example code given in the following article (and the Linker and Library Guide) to define my own time function as a shared library:
http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/time_stamp.html
This works properly. Now I wish to analyze performance of a program using this library using collect and analyzer. Two problems arise:
1. The #pragma init does not seem to work. I have to put a static flag variable and call the init_func myself inside my time() function if the flag is not set.
2. Even after doing this, the dlsym() call returns an error indicating the original time() function could not be found.
Is performance analysis of such interposed functions possible ? The test code only has a bunch of time() calls.
If this can work, I plan to use it to analyze some code (including some third party libraries) that needs the current time to be set to a fixed value in order to ensure identical results.
I'm using Sun Studio 10 on Solaris 8.
Regards,
Paul

Sorry for a delayed response.
I'm not sure if this constitutes a bug in the dynamic linker. Please try setting LD_PRELOAD environment variable instead of LD_FLAGS. It appears that setting both (collect sets LD_PRELOAD) confuses the dynamic linker and only one setting takes effect.

Hi,
we are currently using SunStudio 12. I have noticed that early access product, SunStudio Express, Feb2008. It seems that new features coming from NetBeans 6.0 have contributed to SunStudio IDE. I prefer to use SunStudio Express IDE. But i have also noticed that sun CC compiler version is also different. Actually it is no surprise, since SunStudio is a complete product composed of compilers, tools and IDE.Now, i am quite doubtful whether we should use SunStudioExpress. That's why i want to learn when official new release for SunStudio will be announced.
Though i have searched internet, i couldn't notice any news about the next official release of Sun Studio( Sun Studio 13 ). When will this early release( SunStudio Express, Feb 2008 ) be released as SunStudio13? What is the release roadmap of SunStudio?

General and specific questions on the applicability of Sun Studio 11

Hi. In an e-mail letter from Sun Microsystems I read about Sun Studio 11 to "utilize its record-setting parallelizing compilers." From this message I was attracted by the possibility of adding something like parallel processing, not by changing the processor (hardware), but by adding Sun-Studio-11 software to a Linux operating system. Now I already have a Fortran compiler, the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux, which is free and can handle Cray-style pointers, a feature hard to find in a free Fortran compiler.
1a. So for the most basic of questions, without having parallel-processing hardware, just an ordinary processor [a 1-GigaHertz (GHz) Advanced MicroDevices Duron central processing unit, in my case], is it possible to have parallel processing and thereby increase one's computing speed by installing Sun Studio 11 in a Linux operating system?
1b. If so, by what factor could one expect the speed of computation to increase over not having Sun Studio 11 installed? (If the gain in speed is dependent on the type of computations being performed, I imagine possibly using a Fortran code to perform numerical calculations using and perhaps searching for minima or maxima in a two-or-more-dimensional surface. So please give me an idea of the sort of gain in speed one could expect for these two types of activites, calculations using formulas and searches for minima and maxima among already-computed quantities.)
1c. Again if so, how could one just by adding software have parallel processing without two or more hardware processors? In other words, what is the basic working principle of the software to make the simultaneous performance of multiple tasks (multitasking or parallel processing) possible?
2a. Does Sun Studio 11 include a Fortan compiler?
2b. If so, must one use it to have parallel processing with Sun Studio 11?
2c. Or will the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux work with Sun Studio 11 to have a parallel processing capability?
Concerning hardware requirements I read that Sun Studio 11 requires a minimum of 512 MegaBytes (MB) of memory, presumably Random Access Memory (RAM). My Hewlett-Packard, ZE1110, Pavilion, notebook computer has 256 MB of RAM, but is expandable to a maximum of 512 MB of RAM. So in this respect it is in principle at least technically possible for me to meet the minimum system requirement for Sun Studio 11 with my computer, if I choose to increase its RAM. Somehow accommodating the cost of such a RAM addition, including whether one may have to buy two, matching, 256-MB RAM modules or just presumably one additional 256-RAM module, is another requirement. But before spending money for such an upgrade, one should first thoroughly investigate other matters to determine if other things are going to work and to determine what gain, if any, one could expect in computing speed with Sun Studio 11 and an additional 256 MB of RAM; then decide, based on such data, whether the purchase is personally worth the money or not. That's one motivation behind this posting; another motivation is for me to learn some things.
Lastly I would like to here thank whoever was thoughtful enough to provide the Sun Download Manager (SDM) 2.0, which allows the pausing and resumption of the 207-MB download studio11-lin-x86.tar.bz2 for the Linux version of the Sun Studio 11! Using a slow, dialup, Internet connection like mine having a maximum speed of 28.8 kilobits/second, this makes it possible to download that file over a number of Internet sessions instead of having to have an uninterrupted, 19-or-more-hour Internet session. Besides the invconvenience of tying up one's telephone line for that long a time, it might be even be difficult to have such an uninterrupted Internet session for that long a time. I have at least started such a download using the SDM 2.0 potentially over multiple Internet sessions. Whether or not I carry it out to completion could depend on whether everything looks good with Sun Studio 11 for my particular situation. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for both of your postings here. I'm mostly trying to learn something here.
From Maxim Kartashev: "For example, if one thread (or process, or lwp) frequently performs an I/O operation, then the other thread (process, lwp) can utilize processor resources to perform, say, some computations while first one waits for operation to complete."
I think I might understand what you meant above. I guess lwp in the above context stands for light-weight process. And I think you may be talking about a potential gain in speed with just one, ordinary processor. I guess you meant that one program, or perhaps group of programs, could perform input/output processes at the same time it is performing calculations because different parts of the processor are being used in these two groups of processes. Then on "while first one waits for operation to complete" I guess you meant that if the input/output operations finish before the computations finish, then thread 1 that was performing the input/output operations will have to wait until the current computations ordered by thread 2 are complete before thread 1 can utilize the computational resources for its own computations; i.e., two threads can't use the same computational resources of an ordinary processor at the same time. How is my thinking so far, Maxim, right, partly right, or all wrong?
Now if the above thinking of mine is right, then it appears that one could have some gain in speed doing things like you suggest with just one, ordinary processor. And if so, I imagine that the gain could be a maximum of a factor of two for a program that requires spending as much time in input and output as it does in computation; i.e., keeping both the computational and input/output resources working all of the time without the input/output resources waiting on the computational resources or vice versa. How is my thinking here?
If the above thinking is correct, just for purposes of discussion with just one, ordinary processor, not a dual processor, and a program which does nothing but computations there would be no gain in speed using Sun Studio 11 and a Fortran compiler over not using Sun Studio 11. In other words, to increase the speed of computation one would have to buy a faster computer, buy parallel processing hardware for an existing computer and use parallel-processing software, or somehow figure out how to harness two or more computers to work for you at the same time with instructions from one piece or perhaps set of pieces of code set up for parallel processing using two or more different computers. The latter case would be a computer analogue or "two 'heads' are better than one," not human heads, but computers. How is my thinking here?
Here I am still assuming that it is possible for one processor to be used to do two different kinds things at once. However, I don't see how one Fortran program could instruct two things to be done at once. This is because I have not seriously studied parallel processing, I suppose. That is I am used to a sequential set of instructions that proceed from top to botton down the lines of code; i.e., one instruction or line of code can't be executed until the line of code before it has been completely executed. That is the computing "world" with which I am familiar. So how about someone here teaching me with an example of parallel-processing Fortran code how parallel processing works, explaining what instruction or group of instructions tells the computer to execute input and computational instructions at the same time?
Based on the encouraging information from one or more other people I have been able to use the Intel Fortran for Linux 8.1.024, if I remember correctly, in a computer with a 1-GigaHertz (GHz), Advanced MicroDevices (A.M.D.), Duron Processor. So this is at least one case where it is not essential to have an Intel processor to use the Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux 8.1.024.
Is the Sun Fortran compiler free for personal use? And can it handle Cray-style pointers?

Sun Studio 11 do not parse make output and create link to file?

Hi,
Running Sun Studio 11 and can only get file links in the output window when I run a make command that uses CC -g (debug option). We have integrated other tools into our make system (flexlint, cppUnit..) and even though we make sure that the syntax is exactly the same as the compiler output and matches regular expression under tools->options->building->make settings->error expression, it doesn't work. Why do you have to debug compile to get sun studio to create a file link in the output window? Doesn't sun studio just parse the text from the make command?
example of flexlint output for which no link is created:
"/vobs/project/oss/fm/fm4/fm-fmalib/fmbal/fmaaulib/src/FMA_List.cc", line 440: Error 84: sizeof object is zero or object is undefined'�
example of make debug output for which we do get a link:
"/vobs/project/oss/fm/fm4/fm-fmalib/fmbal/SunOS5.10/inc/FMA_alarm_record.hh", line 1310: Warning (Anachronism):Info "static" is not allowed and is being ignored.
Regards,
Ola

I'd second Maxim's suggestion: try NetBeans 5.5 with C/C++ Development Pack. The official release of NetBeans C/C++ Development Pack 5.5 has happened a few days ago. You can download it from
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/all.php?b_id=2284
Some of the changes between the beta3 build and FCS are:
* Significant performance improvements in the code parser resulting in faster results in the Class View and Code Completion
* Programs now run in an external terminal (system dependent) by default. This allows better input control
* Significant performance improvement in the debugging module
* Significant functionality improvement in the debugging module
* New project type "C/C++ Project From Existing Code" which simplifies creating a project from existing code
* Macro support in code completion
* Hyperlink navigation for macro usages and #include directives
