Parsing and Displaying Profile Data

The Import Result function parses and displays the raw profile data collected by Profiling in MindStudio. The configuration procedure is as follows:

1. Choose Ascend > System Profiler from the menu bar. The system analysis project page is displayed.
2. On the system analysis project page, click Import Result on the welcome page or the icon in the upper left corner.

4. Click OK to start execution.
5. After the execution is successful, the Timeline View is automatically displayed, showing the AscendCL API calling and operator time consumption.

   For details about the Timeline View page, see "Profiling > Profile Data Display > Timeline View" in the MindStudio User Guide.

   If the size of the .json file exceeds the maximum cache for automatic result display of Import Result, the file may fail to be automatically displayed. In this case, manually open it.

   Zoom in the view to check the time consumption of AscendCL APIs and operators. Switch to Statistics, select OP Info, and click Task Duration(us) to sort the operators. Then, find the operators with top time consumption and view and analyze their information.
