Re: Profiling tools for DPDK applications running on VM inside ESXi server

Thanks for the tip. Maybe it’s better to optimize code on bare metal before moving to VM.

Hi Dan,

When we tried, perf did not work in ESX, it only works in KVM. oprofile works in timer mode in ESX. 

Thanks,

Hi,
I’m wondering which profilers are best for profiling DPDK applications running on VM: perf, oprofile, vtune? The first 2 are open sourced while vtune is commercial. DPDK apps are running on ubuntu 12.04 and centos 6.5. Thanks.
