custom-config
custom-config
Specify the absolute path or name for
a custom TOML configuration file with additional modeling parameters.
GUI Equivalent
Syntax
--custom-config
=
<path>
Arguments
<path>
is the absolute path or a
name of a custom TOML configuration file.
Usage
If you specify the configuration file name, the
configuration directory will be searched first, then the current directory. See
Advanced Modeling
Configuration for details about modeling parameters available.
You can specify this option more than once to provide
multiple custom configuration files for the Performance Modeling. For example,
you can provide a
scalers.toml
file generated
from an Offload Modeling HTML report and a manually created configuration file
with additional parameters.
When used with
--collect=offload
, the custom configuration file is checked
for a memory structure description at the Trip Counts analysis step. This
description is used to generate cache configuration for cache simulation. If
you specify several configurations, Intel Advisor only uses the last
configuration with memory structure parameters for Trip Counts and ignores
other files. For example, if you specified a target device configuration with
config
and additional
parameters with
custom-config
, Intel Advisor
only uses the target device configuration for the Trip Counts analysis and
ignores the custom configuration, but for the Performance Modeling, it uses
both configuration files.
target-device
,
config
, and
cache-config
options take precedence over memory structure
parameters specified with
custom-config
.
Example
- Create a TOML configuration file and specify additional parameters.
- Run Survey Analysis.
- Run Trip Counts and FLOP analyses of the Characterization stage.
- Model your application performance on a target device with the custommyConfig.tomlfile.
