Performance Analysis Tools Sample Clauses

Performance Analysis Tools. The objectives of the performance analysis tools are (1) to help the programmer choose which parts of the application to accelerate with the FPGA fabric and (2) to quantify the performance and power consumption of the application to determine if the current imple- mentation satisfies requirements. Figure 17b shows the interfaces involved in gathering the performance and power profiles. The key component is the Power Measurement Util- ity (PMU) which we introduced in Section 5.3. The PMU samples power consumption by directly accessing the compute platform’s power lines. In addition, it samples the Program Counter (PC) values of all CPUs over the JTAG interface (see Section 3.5.5). The PMU correlates the PC samples with the power consumption samples to non-intrusively produce highly detailed performance and power profiles. To map the power and performance profiles to the program structure, we use Clang to gen- erate an LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) for the application (see Figure 17a). We use the LLVM IR to insert additional debug information into the CPU binary so that we later can identify which PCs occur within each basic block. This enables us to pinpoint the source code construct (e.g., function, for loop, etc.) that causes power and performance issues. Clang is the front-end for languages in the C-family in the LLVM [25] compiler infrastructure. Although the LLVM IR is not formally a standard, its specification is freely available. In addition, JTAG is used to program the FPGA fabric. We leverage this capability to do automated Design Space Exploration (DSE) of the HLS configuration space. To enable this, the PMU supports passing commands issued by a Xilinx JTAG programmer through the PMU to the compute platform. However, JTAG can also be used to connect to the compute platform directly when the PMU is not used. Finally, we use the Universal Serial Bus (USB) standard to communicate between the host computer and the PMU. The main use of this channel is to stream the power and PC samples to the host as they are collected. Within the TULIPP project, we have defined the format of this data stream. This format could be standardised to ensure inter-operability between different PMU-like devices. Finally, the compute platform uses USB to send terminal output to the host so that it can be shown to the developer.

Related to Performance Analysis Tools

  • Quantitative Analysis Quantitative analysts develop and apply financial models designed to enable equity portfolio managers and fundamental analysts to screen potential and current investments, assess relative risk and enhance performance relative to benchmarks and peers. To the extent that such services are to be provided with respect to any Account which is a registered investment company, Categories 3, 4 and 5 above shall be treated as “investment advisory services” for purposes of Section 5(b) of the Agreement.”

  • Performance Reporting The State of California is required to submit the following financial reports to FEMA:

  • Performance and Compliance Seller shall have performed, in all material respects, all of the covenants and complied with all of the provisions required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it on or before the Closing.

  • Performance Testing (a) All performance tests of the Project, including any Initial Performance Test required in Section 2 of Appendix VIII, will be performed in accordance with the test procedures set forth in Appendix VIII (“Performance Test”), including additional procedures and protocols related to Performance Testing as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller (“Test Procedures”). Seller shall bear all costs and receive all revenues, if applicable, associated with all Performance Tests. (b) After the Initial Delivery Date and during the Delivery Term, Buyer will have the right to conduct a Performance Test (“Buyer Performance Test”) no more than once a calendar year to demonstrate whether the Project is capable of delivering the Distribution Services at the Contract Capacity. Within 30 calendar days following a Buyer Performance Test, Seller will have the right to retest the Project with a Performance Test (“Seller Retest”). For the avoidance of doubt, the results of any Seller Retest will supersede the results of the preceding Buyer Performance Test. (i) If a Buyer Performance Test or, if a corresponding Seller Retest has occurred, a Seller Retest demonstrates the Project is capable of delivering Distribution Services at or above ninety-nine percent (99%) of the Initial Contract Capacity, the Contract Capacity will remain the Initial Contract Capacity; (ii) If a Buyer Performance Test or, if a corresponding Seller Retest has occurred, a Seller Retest demonstrates the Project is capable of delivering Distribution Services at more than or equal to eighty-five (85%) of the Initial Contract Capacity, but less than ninety-nine percent (99%) of the Initial Contract Capacity (“Testing Band”), the Contract Capacity will be automatically adjusted (upwards or downwards) to the capacity commensurate with the amount of Distribution Services the Project delivered during the Performance Test within the Testing Band. (iii) If a Buyer Performance Test or, if a corresponding Seller Retest has occurred, a Seller Retest demonstrates the Project is not capable of delivering Distribution Services of at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the Initial Contract Capacity, an Event of Default shall occur in accordance with Section 7.1(a)(viii).

  • Risk Analysis The Custodian will provide the Fund with a Risk Analysis with respect to Securities Depositories operating in the countries listed in Appendix B. If the Custodian is unable to provide a Risk Analysis with respect to a particular Securities Depository, it will notify the Fund. If a new Securities Depository commences operation in one of the Appendix B countries, the Custodian will provide the Fund with a Risk Analysis in a reasonably practicable time after such Securities Depository becomes operational. If a new country is added to Appendix B, the Custodian will provide the Fund with a Risk Analysis with respect to each Securities Depository in that country within a reasonably practicable time after the addition of the country to Appendix B.

  • Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility For the purposes of this Agreement, the accessibility of online content and functionality will be measured according to the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 Level AA and the Web Accessibility Initiative Accessible Rich Internet Applications Suite (WAI-ARIA) 1.0 for web content, which are incorporated by reference.

  • Metrics Institutional Metrics System-Wide Metrics

  • Performance Tests Contractor shall perform Performance Tests in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Agreement and Attachment S.

  • Performance Review Where a performance review of an employee’s performance is carried out, the employee shall be given sufficient opportunity after the interview to read and review the performance review. Provision shall be made on the performance review form for an employee to sign it. The form shall provide for the employee’s signature in two (2) places, one (1) indicating that the employee has read and accepts the performance review, and the other indicating that the employee disagrees with the performance review. The employee shall sign in only one (1) of the places provided. No employee may initiate a grievance regarding the contents of a performance review unless the signature indicates disagreement. An employee shall, upon request, receive a copy of this performance review at the time of signing. An employee’s performance review shall not be changed after an employee has signed it, without the knowledge of the employee, and any such changes shall be subject to the grievance procedure of this Agreement. The employee may respond, in writing, to the performance review. Such response will be attached to the performance review.

  • Performance Standards The Contractor agrees to perform all tasks and provide deliverables as set forth in the Contract. The Department and the Customer will be entitled at all times, upon request, to be advised as to the status of work being done by the Contractor and of the details thereof.
