The Views settings panel lists the applicable data views for the current experiment.
Click the check boxes to select or deselect standard data views for display in Performance Analyzer.
Click the check boxes to select or deselect Index Object views for display. The predefined Index Object views include Threads, CPUs, Samples, Seconds, Processes.
To add a view for a custom index object, click the Add Custom Index View button to open the Add Index Object dialog. The index object name you specify must not already be defined, and it cannot match any existing command, or any Memory Object type. The name is not case-sensitive, and must be entirely composed of alphanumeric characters or the '_' character, and begin with an alphabetic character. The formula must follow the syntax described in Expression Grammar.
Index objects can also be created using the er_print command. See Commands That Control Index Object Lists
Click the check boxes to select or deselect predefined Memory Object views for display. These views are available when the experiment contains hardware counter profiling data.
Memory objects represent components in the memory subsystem, such as cache lines, pages, and memory banks. Memory objects are predefined for virtual and physical pages, for sizes of 8KB, 64KB, 512KB, and 4MB.
To add a view for a custom memory object, click the Add Custom Memory Object View button to open the Add Memory Object dialog box. The memory object name you specify must not already be defined and it cannot match any existing command or any Index Object type. The name is not case-sensitive, and must be entirely composed of alphanumeric characters or the '_' character, and begin with an alphabetic character. The formula must follow the syntax described in Expression Grammar.
You can load a file that defines Memory Objects for a specific SPARC system architecture. Click the Load Machine Model button and select the system architecture of interest. Click Apply or OK and a new list of objects displays in the Memory Objects Views column. You can select from these views to display associated data. Search for "Machine Model" in the help for more information.
By default Performance Analyzer loads a machine model file that is appropriate for the machine on which an experiment was recorded. Machine model files can define both Memory Objects and Index Objects.
