Performance profiling smartphone apps

[Guest mrmartin]

Hey

I need a tool to perform performance profiling on my smartphone applications. Is there any available. I normaly use AMDs codeAnalyst but it doesn't seem to work with Smartphone exe's

Thanks,

Martin

I actually dont know of any myself but I would be careful because those things can damage your phone! Dont forget that large investment u put in to get it to begin with. plus the phones run fine so why get performance tweaks? only thing that "lags" is the startup... other thent hat everything is fine.

If you are content with using your phone out of the box then yes, everything is fine. But if you intend to develop something on it then the answer is no.

Damage my phone? A profiling tool? I really have a hard time believing that since the only thing it does is to hook my code and see how much time it spends in each function call. Some profilers provide extra functionality but basically that's it.

Why the performance tweaks? Different platforms have different behavior. Sometimes the right compiler flags make a huge difference and it is nice to know where the bottleneck is before you start picking the application apart.

Anyway. I'm giving Intel VTune a try. Together with vs 2005 it should be possible to get the profiler runing on the device pretty easy.

Thanks
