visual studion 2010 profile Fortran

Question

Hello,

Could you please let me know whether or not to profile Fortran code with VS2010 premiun edition?

Thanks,

Ngcc

Answer 1

Hi Ngcc,

I have a couple questions for you to help me understand this:

• What environment are you running in? 
• Is this a multi-process application?
• Have you tried attaching to the running exe with the Concurrency Visualizer?

-James

Answer 2

Ngcc,

What James is asking is:

• What Fortran compiler do you use?  Are you using one integrated into VS?
• The VS2010 Concurrency Visualizer uses ETW to profile any exe.  In theory, if you have symbols, the Concurrency Viewer should be able to analyze, profile, and provide useful information.  Without symbols, you might not have enough transparancy into your application.

I haven't tried tracing Fortan code before and would love it if you would share your experience using the Concurrency Viewer here or directly with us.

 

Thank you,

- Dana

 

Answer 3

I find F2C is handy as Microsoft does not want to support the language natively.

I find that the OpenMP library for C++ is well supported and that has allowed me to use modern microprocessors far better.

So far the FORTRAN standard have been slow in adopting parallel programming and I am hoping that the C++ and FORTRAN crowd can overcome their differences and get interoperability back into the game.

I still have lots of old FORTRAN code in the shop but I have converted everything to C++ as its now the most popular programming language in common use.

Ngcc, we haven't heard any further questions or answers to any of our inquiries.  Can I assume you are no longer interested in pursuing profiling Fortran using VS2010? 

If we don't hear from you by 10/1, I will mark this thread as answered.

Thank you,

Dana

I wonder if the OP has managed to figure out how to get Intel's tool up and running.

Answer 6

If you want to analyze code coverage, Intel Fortran must be compiled with the /Qcov-gen option (other flags are available also). This creates files that can be processed using the profmerge and codecov tools. Search the internet for "/Qcov".

Answer 7

Hello all,

Thanks much for all you reply. I donot know why I cannot get the reply automatically in my Outlook. I am sure I checked "Alert me".

But this morning, I got two emails from you.

Please colse this issue, I bought a license of VTune.
