PTP/designs/perf tools framework
Performance Tools Framework
An implementation of an initial performance extension for ptp has been done for TAU, and is available in the PTP CVS repository, under org.eclipse.ptp/tools/tau.
Currently under development (July '07) is a generalized performance framework to assist tool developers in porting their tools to Eclipse, or easily integrating existing performance tools with Eclipse.
Goal: generalize and extend performance tools integrated with PTP for ease of integration for other performance tools
Integration points are envisioned to include:
- instrumentation
- automatic vs. manual (including user-assisted e.g. via eclipse actions)
- selective implies some filters of types of instrumentation to add
- build, which may or may not be transparent to user
- launch with instrumentation
- management of profile/trace data
- visualization launch
Note: Performance tools have also been classified in three phases:
- Instrumentation
- Measurement (which would include build and launch, measurement during the run)
- Analysis (which could include management of data as well as analysis including visualization)
