Top mode for PMC

pmcstat -Sinstructions -T ~/pmctest/prog/pmctest 10000

hotkeys:

  • f : replace empty cost function name by “.”
  • c+d : delta mode (default)
  • c+a : accumulated mode
  • n : next view (tree vs top cost)
  • p : next PMC
  • m : merge PMC with same name (ie merge all CPU sample) (default)
  • ' ' : pause
