pixstats(1) General Commands Manual pixstats(1)
Name
pixstats - analyze program execution
Syntax
pixstats program [ options ]
Description
The pixstats command analyzes a program's execution characteristics. To use pixstats , invoke the command to translate and instrument the
executable object module for the program. Then execute the translation on an appropriate input. This produces a .Counts file. You can
then use pixstats to generate a detailed report on opcode frequencies, interlocks, a mini-profile, and more.
Options
-cycle ns Assume a ns cycle time when converting cycle counts to seconds.
-r2010 Use r2010 floating point chip operation times and overlap rules. This is the default.
-disassemble Disassemble and show the analyzed object code.
Restrictions
The pixstats command models execution assuming a perfect memory system. Cache misses, and so on, increase execution above the pixstats
predictions.
