Task Viewer
In the Graphics Performance Benchmark window, choose Tools – Task Viewer, to display the Task Viewer window. The Task Viewer automatically updates after every 2 seconds.
In the Task Viewer, you can view the Processes that are currently being run to determine which processes are going to impact the performance analysis results, and also the CPU_Memory Usage, X Resources, and the Stack Trace.
The information contained on the Processes and X Resources tabs can be sorted (the virtuoso and X resource processes are always highlighted).
Additional features of the Task Viewer include:
-
The ability to end or kill a process in the Processes tab by selecting the process ID (PID) of the required process, and then selecting the End Process button.
The End Process button is active only when a process is selected in the Processes tab. -
The ability to capture the information displayed by taking a Snapshot. You can use a snapshot for reporting purposes.
When a snapshot is taken, a time tag is attached to the file name so that you can determine when the snapshot was taken (for example, snapshot@16:52:05).
To save the snapshots, choose Options – Set Snapshot Folder/Name and then specify the name and storage location in the displayed Set Snapshot Folder and Name form.
The snapshot file is saved in the ASCII format and contains the following details:-
All the processes listed on the Processes tab, with their current states.
-
The stack trace at the moment the snapshot was taken.
-
The X server configuration file, if it exists.
-
The X server log file, if it exists.
-
The X display information.
-
The ability to set the Memory Unit displayed on the CPU_Memory Usage tab.
Choose Option – Memory Unit, and then choose to display results in either 2G (default) or 1G unit format.
The Memory Unit option is active only when the CPU_Memory Usage tab is selected. -
The ability to record preferred settings by choosing Option – Remember Settings.
