Settings - Settings - 57368

There are certain application-wide settings to customize the AMD uProf experience. The SETTINGS page is in top-right corner and is divided into the following three sections:

Preferences

Use this section to set the global path and data reporting preferences.

• Click the Apply Changes button to apply the updated/modified settings. There are settings which are common to profile data filters and hence, any changes to them through the Apply Changes button will only be applied to the views that do not have local filters set.
• You can click the Reset button to reset the settings or cancel to discard the changes that you don't want to apply.

Symbols

Use this section to configure the Symbol Paths and Symbol Server locations. The Symbol server is a Windows only option.

Source Data

Use this section to set the Source view preferences.

You can use Select Disassembly Syntax to select the syntax in which you wish to see the disassembly. By default, it is set to Intel on Windows and AT&T on Linux.

Profile Data

Use this section to control the location of data generation during profiling.

In Profile Data, the Capture launch application output list is enabled and has these three options: Redirect to file(s), Shows in UI and Ignore Output.

• Ignore Output - The default option for capture launch application output and does nothing when profile launches the app.
• Shows in UI - This option enables the log message window once profiling starts in GUI and shows the selected application output.
• Redirect to files - After launch app profile is complete in GUI, in the backend session directory two files: launchapp.out.txt and launchapp.err.txt files are created and capture the application output and any warning/error message, respectively.
  You must click Apply changes if selecting the Shows in UI or Redirect to files options.

  Note: The Capture launch application output option is enabled in both Linux and Windows uProf GUI settings.

• Keep Raw Files After Collection enables saving of the raw files after translation. It is disabled by default.
• You can use Delete Record Session Files Older Than to delete the session files older than a given time period. The time period is set to None by default.
• Reset Profile Configuration helps add preference to keep or clear the profile configuration after each profile. It is set to True (clear after profiling) by default.
• Hotkey to stop profile (if running) helps halt the CPU and Power profiling.
• Hotkey to pause/resume profile helps pause or resume the CPU and Power profiling.
