Performance tuning apparatus, performance tuning method, and computer product
View Patent ↗In performance tuning, a program is created by development engineers. Data A, data B, data C, . . . are given to the program to execute the program. Performance index values of functions for each data are measured. The results of the measurement are combined for each function and combining results and the number of times of combining (experience value) are obtained. Based on the combining results, the targets of the tuning functions are selected. Performance index values are combined for each function selected. The functions to be the tuning targets are output as tuning points.
1. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium that stores therein a performance tuning program, the performance tuning program making a computer execute:
acquiring a plurality of pieces of input data to be given to a target program that includes a plurality of functions;
measuring a performance index value for each of the plurality of functions by executing the target program using each of the plurality of pieces of input data;
calculating a combined performance index value for each of the plurality of functions by adding performance index values that are weighted based on attribute information of the input data;
extracting functions to be candidates for a tuning point from among the plurality of functions based on the combined performance index value; and
calculating reliability of a result of the calculating, the reliability being a total number of the input data handled by the calculating of the combined performance index value.
2. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 1 ,
wherein the attribute information includes information indicative of coverage rate of execution routes of the target program with respect to the input data regarding execution routes of the target program.
3. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 2 , comprising:
calculating an index value for tuning judgment for the candidates based on the performance index value of the candidates.
4. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium according to claim 3 , comprising:
extracting a function to be the tuning point from among the candidates based on the index value for tuning judgment.
