DrCCTProf is a fine-grained call path profiling framework for binaries running on ARM and X86 architectures. Please see our blog for more details.
In order to build you'll need the following packages:
- gcc (at least version 4.8)
- binutils (at least version 2.26)
- cmake (at least version 3.7)
- perl
To avoid conflicts with installed original version packages, we recommend that use Spack to manage the above packages and create a virtual environment to build and run DrCCTProf.
Use the following commands to get sources and build DrCCTProf:
$ git clone --recurse https://github.com/Xuhpclab/DrCCTProf.git$ ./build.shTo run DrCCTProf, one needs to issue the following command:
$ export drrun=/path/to/DrCCTProf/build/bin64/drrun- x86_64
$ $drrun -t <client tool> -- <application> [apllication args]- aarch64
$ $drrun -unsafe_build_ldstex -t <client tool> -- <application> [apllication args]| Name | Features | Status |
