Data Display, Right Pane

The right pane contains the MPI Timeline Controls tab, the MPI Chart Controls tab, the Summary tab, the Event tab, the Race Detail tab, Deadlock Detail tab, and Leak tab. By default the Summary tab is displayed.

The MPI Timeline Controls tab

The MPI Timeline Controls tab supports zoom, pan, event-step, and filtering for the MPI Timeline tab. It includes a control to adjust the percentage of MPI messages shown on MPI Timeline tab.

Filtering causes data outside the current field of view to be eliminated from the data set shown in the MPI Timeline tab and the MPI Chart tab. A filter is applied by clicking the Filter button. The back-filter button is used to undo the last filter; the forward-filter button is used to reapply a filter. Filters are shared between the MPI Timeline tab and the MPI Chart tab, but are not currently applied to other tabs.

The message slider can be adjusted to control the percentage of messages displayed. When you select less than 100%, priority is given to the most costly messages. Cost is defined as the time spent in the message's send and receive functions.

The MPI Timeline Controls tab is also used to show the details for a function or message selection from the MPI Timeline tab.

The MPI Chart Controls Tab

The MPI Chart Controls tab has a set of drop-down lists to control the type of chart, the parameters for the X and Y axes, and the Metric and Operator used to aggregate the data. Clicking Redraw causes a new graph to be drawn.

Filtering causes data outside the current field of view to be eliminated from the data set shown in the MPI Timeline tab and MPI Chart tab. A filter is applied by clicking the Filter button. The back-filter button is used to undo the last filter; the forward-filter button is used to reapply a filter.

The Summary Tab

The Summary tab shows all the recorded metrics for the selected function or load object, both as values and percentages, and information on the selected function or load object. The Summary tab is updated whenever a new function or load object is selected in any tab.

The Event Tab

The Event tab shows detailed data for the event that is selected in the Timeline tab, including the event type, leaf function, LWP ID, thread ID, and CPU ID. Below the data panel the call stack is displayed with the color coding for each function in the stack. Clicking a function in the call stack makes it the selected function.

When a sample is selected in the Timeline tab, the Event tab shows the sample number, the start and end time of the sample, and the microstates with the amount of time spent in each microstate and the color coding.

The Leak Tab

The Leak tab shows detailed data for the selected leak or allocation in the Leaklist tab. Below the data panel, the Leak tab shows the call stack at the time when the selected leak or allocation was detected. Clicking a function in the call stack makes it the selected function.

The Race Detail Tab

The Race Detail tab shows detailed data for the selected datarace in the Races tab. See the Sun Studio 12: Thread Analyzer User’s Guide for more information.
