TPTP Profiling in Ganymede - only one option to profile? [message #132334] Wed, 09 July 2008 08:38 Go to next message

Hello,

I am trying to start using TPTP profiler in Ganymede.
For some reason in Java Profiling configuration I am able to select only one
option whether:
Execution Time Analysis, Memory Analysis or Thread Analysis (but not
combination of them). In spite of there are checkboxes there, the behaviour
is of radio button.

Do I miss something?

Thanks,
Gennady

Hi Gennady,

JVMTI profiler shipped in Ganymede release allows only one selection of
Analysis Type per profiling session. This is different from the JVMPI
profiler in previous release that supports multiple selection of Analysis
Type. If you would like to use JVMPI profiler for multiple selection of
Analysis Type. You can configure the IAC (under Windows > Preference >
Integrated Agent Controller) to a JVM 1.4 in order to enable the JVMPI. The
default is JVM 1.5 and JVMTI profiler. If you do not want to change the JVM
setting of your workbench, you can try setup a standalone Agent Controller
with JVM 1.4 and profile with the standalone agent controller instead.

Eugene,
thank you for clarification.

Our product is supposed to run with jvm 1.6, so I assume we have to profile
with JVMTI.
I did some general reading and it looks as JVMTI is a superset of JVMPI.
I wonder whether there are essential issues with providing an ability for
multiple Analysis Types in one profiling session (since it is definitely
more convenient)?

Hi Gennady,

There is a enhancement 167355 opened for supporting multiple analysis types.
Please feel free to add yourself to the bugzilla entry to monitor the
feature and provide feedback.

Eugene

JVMTI is not a superset of JVMPI, but a completely different interface.
JVMTI was designed to merge the "experimental" JVMPI and
debugger-specific JVMDI into a single unified interface for tool writers
(profilers and debuggers). JVMPI support was indeed dropped in Java 1.6,
so users of this platform has no option other than using JVMTI.

Providing multiple analysis types in JVMTI is possible but is more
complicated and requires some extra work and resources.

Regards,
Asaf
