Revising Code and Rerunning a Host Profiling Session
After you optimize your code, you can rerun the Code Analyzer session and compare the data to see how your changes improve your application performance.
To rerun an analyze session, do the following:
- Open the Analyze Sessions Explore from Tools > Intel Code Builder for OpenCL API > OpenCL Application Analysis > Windows > Analyze Session Explorer
- In the Analyze Sessions Explorer right-click the analyze session that you want to rerun and select Rerun.
- A new analyze session is created and launched and the profiled application starts.
- After the application is finished the new analyze session appears in the Analyze Explorer window and new reports are generated.
Output Files
For each analysis session, the Code Analyzer creates a session directory named with application's name, the date, and an incremented session number.
A new capture subdirectory is created in the session directory then profiling begins, and also each time you pause and resume the data collection during the session. The files in that directory comprise the capture reports. The format of the capture directory is:
capture_N, where N is an incrementing number
These are the types of files in a capture directory:
- *.csv - capture reports in CSV format.
- *.bin - capture reports in binary format - you can open such reports in Visual Studio from the Analyze Sessions Explorer.
In addition, a session file is created in the session directory. This file stores the data about session configuration. You can use it to create and run another similar session.
