The writeup at github.com/jzarnett/ece459/blob/master/labs/Lab1.pdf has all the This is an introduction to the course aas well as putting some definitions to the term " This is a brief introduction to the course and a tiny little bit about me. Before we just jump to the conclusion that it's CPU, let's examine what else it could be and how we would know. But also with ... Causal profiling allows for running a what-if kind of To wrap up the introductory topic, we lay out the roadmap of where we are going in the course, noting the major topics and ... Though this topic is by no means a replacement for a proper discussion of system design and software architecture, it highlights ...

We will start our discussion of profiling with tracing, which is to say logging, or maybe just printf with extra steps. We can use the profiler to help the compiler make good decisions when compiling; let's find out how! The last of the Valgrind tools we will cover is the sadly non-Norse-named Cachegrind, which tells you about cache misses and ...
