The ITT API overhead and its impact on the overall application performance depends on the amount of instrumentation code added to the application. When instrumenting an application with ITT API, you should balance between application performance and the amount of performance data that you need to collect, in order to minimize API overhead while collecting sufficient performance data.
Follow these guidelines to achieve good balance between overall performance of the instrumented application and instrumentation detail:
For best performance in the release version of your code, use conditional compilation to turn off annotations. Define the macro INTEL_NO_ITTNOTIFY_API before you include ittnotify.h during compilation to eliminate all __itt_* functions from your code.
You can also remove the static library from the linking stage by defining this macro.
The ITT APIs include a subset of functions which create domains and string handles. These functions always return identical handles for the same domain names and strings. This requires these functions to perform string comparisons and table lookups, which can incur serious performance penalties. In addition, the performance of these functions is proportional to the log of the number of created domains or string handles. It is best to create domains and string handles at global scope, or during application startup.
The following code section creates two domains in the global scope. You can use these domains to control the level of detail that is written to the trace file.
__itt_domain* basic = __itt_domain_create(L"MyFunction.Basic");
__itt_domain* detailed = __itt_domain_create(L"MyFunction.Detailed");
// Create string handles at global scope.
__itt_string_handle* h_my_funcion = __itt_string_handle_create(L"MyFunction");
void MyFunction(int arg)
{
__itt_task_begin(basic, __itt_null, __itt_null, h_my_function);
Foo(arg);
FooEx();
__itt_task_end(basic);
}
__itt_string_handle* h_foo = __itt_string_handle_create(L"Foo");
void Foo(int arg)
{
// Skip tracing detailed data if the detailed domain is disabled.
__itt_task_begin(detailed, __itt_null, __itt_null, h_foo);
// Do some work here...
__itt_task_end(detailed);
}
__itt_string_handle* h_foo_ex = __itt_string_handle_create(L"FooEx");
void FooEx()
{
// Skip tracing detailed data if the detailed domain is disabled.
__itt_task_begin(detailed, __itt_null, __itt_null, h_foo_ex);
// Do some work here...
__itt_task_end(detailed);
}
// This is my entry point.
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
if(argc < 2)
//Disable detailed domain if we do not need tracing from that in this
//application run
detailed ->flags = 0;
MyFunction(atoi(argv[1])); }
