Using collect utility

[Kishore Kumar Pusukuri]

Hi,
I am trying to play with the utility "collect" for studing TLB misses of a multi-threaded program running on my AMD multi-core machine equipped with OpenSolaris.2009.06. However, the program is hanging (with and also without umask) on when I used collect utility. Please find the "prstat -m" output of the program with and without collect utlity. Is this problem with the collect utility or the way I used it? Please let me know.


$ collect -h DC_dtlb_L1_miss_L2_miss~umask=0x01 ./program

$ uname -a
SunOS opensolaris 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

prstat output with collect
==========================
PID USERNAME USR SYS TRP TFL DFL LCK SLP LAT VCX ICX SCL SIG PROCESS/NLWP

prstat output without collect

(a) Does your program run under collect without specifying the hardware
counter events.

(b) What lock is your program stuck on? Try plockstat. It looks like
your code spends 50% of its time in locks anyway.

Regards,

Darryl.
