Sun Studio 12: Performance Analyzer

The DataObjects Tab

The DataObjects tab shows the list of data objects with their metrics. The tab is applicable only to hardware counter overflow experiments where the aggressive backtracking option was enabled, and for source files that were compiled with the -xhwcprof option in the C compiler.

You can display the tab by selecting it in the Tabs tab of the Set Data Presentation dialog box (see Tabs Tab). You can make the DataObjects tab visible only if one or more of the loaded experiments contains a dataspace profile.

The tab shows hardware counter memory operation metrics against the various data structures and variables in the program.

To select a single data object, click on that object.

To select several objects that are displayed contiguously in the tab, select the first object, then press Shift while clicking on the last object.

To select several objects that are not displayed contiguously in the tab, select the first object, then select the additional objects by pressing Ctrl while clicking on each object.

When you click the Compose Filter Clause button on the toolbar, the Filter dialog box opens with Advanced tab selected and the Filter clause text box loaded with a filter clause that reflects the selection(s) in the DataObjects tab.
