soc.sdk.Profiler Class

Namespace: soc.sdk

Code execution profiler that collects timing information for generated code

Since R2019b

Description

A Profiler object that specifies the code execution profiler that collects time information for generated code.

Creation

profilerObj = soc.sdk.Profiler(name) creates a Profiler object and sets the Name property to name.

Input Arguments

expand all

Name of profiler configuration, specified as a string.

Example: "MyProfiler"

Data Types: string | char

Properties

expand all

Name of Profiler object available to the supported hardware.

Example: 'MyProfiler'

Attributes:

SetAccess
public

Data Types: char

Name of the file that contains the source code of the profiler function. The file specification must include a full path.

Note

The path can include tokens. If a path separator is included as part of the path, it must be valid for all supported host platforms.

Attributes:

Data Types: char

Name of the file that contains the declarations for the profiling function.

Note

The path can include tokens. If a path separator is included as part of the path, it must be valid for all supported host platforms.

Data Types: char

Name of the source code function that returns the profiling timer counter value. You must implement this function in a source file and specify the source file with property SourceFile.

Data Types: char

Name of the data type of the return value of the profiling function TimerReadFcn.

Example: 'double'

Data Types: char

The resolution of the profiling timer in ticks per second.

Example: 5e8

Data Types: double

A flag that denotes whether the profiling function counts up.

Example: true

Data Types: logical

The flag that denotes whether the profiling function stores the ID of the core on which it executes.

Example: true

Attributes:

Data Types: logical

The flag that denotes whether the profiling function prints the profiling data. The data can be printed only if generated code runs on hardware with a file system, for example Linux®. Otherwise, data is collected in a source code buffer.

Example: true

Attributes:

Data Types: logical

A flag that denotes whether the profiling function prints the profiling data instantly. When set to true, the profile data prints to the standard output as soon as it is collected. Otherwise, the profile data prints when the generated code terminates.

If the profiling data prints instantly, the amount of data that can be collected is not limited by the profiling buffer size. However, since the data prints as it is collected, executing the print instruction may take some time. This can greatly affect the profiling timing data.

Example: true

Data Types: logical

The name of the buffer in the generated code that holds the profiling data.

Example: 'myProfilingDataBuffer'

Attributes:

GetAccess

SetAccess
public

Data Types: char

The size of the buffer in generated code that holds the profiling data. Once the buffer is full, collection of profiling data stops.

Example: 600

Attributes:

Data Types: double

The name of the MATLAB function that retrieves the profiling data from a file or a buffer on hardware and copies the data to the MATLAB host computer.

The source of the retrieval depends on the setting of the PrintData property. If set to true, the function retrieves the profiler data from a file. If false, the function retrieves the profiler data from the profiling buffer in the generated code running on the hardware.

Example: 'myGetDataFcn'
