Streamline Performance Analyzer
Arm DS-5 Development Studio Streamline performance analyzer enables you to get the best out of your system’s resources and create high performance, energy efficient products. Its innovative user interface brings together system performance metrics, software tracing, statistical profiling and power measurement to present you with a system dashboard where you can quickly identify code hotspots, system bottlenecks and other unintended effects of your code or the system architecture. Take an in-depth look at Streamline or read the Streamline FAQ.

The right level for modern complex systems
We are great fans of Arm CoreSight trace. It is the best technology for so many use cases. But the reality is, on today’s very fast and complex multicore SoCs instruction level is just the wrong level of abstraction for system analysis. Streamline for Linux and Android uses a hassle-free architecture, based on a software agent (named Gator), to collect all statistics you require to analyze your system, at a fraction of the cost of a high-end trace unit. Gator is open source (therefore extensible) and typically does not take more than 3% of CPU time on a single core device. Learn more about real-life Streamline use cases in this blog series.
Multicore system optimization made simple
The potential performance gain of an extra core can be easily missed because of issues like poor thread synchronization and sub-optimal parallelization. For SMP platforms, Streamline features per-core and per-cluster statistics to help you quickly verify your system utilization. Moreover, as if you were Superman, the X-Ray mode makes you see through the software threads’ tracing to find out on which core they were running at any moment.
ARM Energy Probe
Power optimization made simpleWhen paired with DS-5 Streamline the Arm Energy Probe provides a simple and elegant solution for software optimization targeting energy efficiency. Measure real power consumption, correlate it with software execution and make your code as efficient as the processor it’s running on. |
