[ 4 / 4 ] Application profile is long enough (591.99 s)
To have good quality measurements, it is advised that the application profiling time is greater than 10 seconds.
[ 3.00 / 3 ] Optimization level option is correctly used
[ 2.40 / 3 ] Most of time spent in analyzed modules comes from functions without compilation information
Functions without compilation information (typically not compiled with -g) cumulate 0.00% of the time spent in analyzed modules. Check that -g is present. Remark: if -g is indeed used, this can also be due to some compiler built-in functions (typically math) or statically linked libraries. This warning can be ignored in that case.
[ 3.00 / 3 ] Architecture specific option -march=native is used
[ 2 / 2 ] Application is correctly profiled ("Others" category represents 0.15 % of the execution time)
To have a representative profiling, it is advised that the category "Others" represents less than 20% of the execution time in order to analyze as much as possible of the user code
[ 4 / 4 ] Enough time of the experiment time spent in analyzed loops (99.71%)
If the time spent in analyzed loops is less than 30%, standard loop optimizations will have a limited impact on application performances.
[ 4 / 4 ] Loop profile is not flat
At least one loop coverage is greater than 4% (63.01%), representing an hotspot for the application
[ 4 / 4 ] Enough time of the experiment time spent in analyzed innermost loops (84.22%)
If the time spent in analyzed innermost loops is less than 15%, standard innermost loop optimizations such as vectorisation will have a limited impact on application performances.
[ 3 / 3 ] Less than 10% (0.00%) is spend in BLAS1 operations
It could be more efficient to inline by hand BLAS1 operations
[ 3 / 3 ] Cumulative Outermost/In between loops coverage (15.49%) lower than cumulative innermost loop coverage (84.22%)
Having cumulative Outermost/In between loops coverage greater than cumulative innermost loop coverage will make loop optimization more complex
[ 2 / 2 ] Less than 10% (0.00%) is spend in Libm/SVML (special functions)
[ 2 / 2 ] Less than 10% (0.00%) is spend in BLAS2 operations
BLAS2 calls usually could make a poor cache usage and could benefit from inlining.
