| Overview: |
VPB reduces development time, risks and costs by helping you measure and tune the performance of multi-processor TMS320C4x software. Load measurements show you any performance bottlenecks, while event markers locate their causes in the program code. Major speed-ups can come from better load balancing when you have the information VPB provides. VPB/Mon synchronizes the target processor's clocks then records processor loading and event information in real time. The data is stored in memory then flushed to disk at the end of the run for later analysis using VPB/View. Any user task on any processor can generate both event markers and formatted text messages. These identify points in the source code and are directly represented in the performance graphs. The user has control over what is monitored, over what period, and at what sampling rate. The complete run can be sampled at various resolutions to allow detailed analysis of problem areas. All VPB-related code can be removed from the executable by rebuilding with a different "make" target. There is no need to edit the source code. VPB/View displays the data collected by VPB/Mon in a graphical "oscilloscope"-style format under Microsoft Windows or Motif. Pan and zoom features allow accurate time measurement. |
