Course Project Stage 2 part 2: Profiling

After a series of installing different stuff under my own machine, i was finally able to rebuild stage 1 under my laptop.

Stage 1 Rebuild
Since I am continuing under a different machine, I rebuild stage 1.

Home laptop
Aarch64
483,546 kb mkv file
compress 1st test 2nd test
real 8m13.718s 8m13.024s
user 8m11.359s 8m10.813s
sys 0m2.344s 0m2.141s
decompress
real 0m31.880s 0m31.827s
user 0m30.813s 0m30.906s
sys 0m1.031s 0m0.955s
1,412,966 kb mkv file
compress 1st test 2nd test
real 23m54.487s 23m47.785s
user 23m48.141s 23m41.016s
sys 0m5.984s 0m6.609s
decompress
real 0m24.068s 0m24.030s
user 0m21.188s 0m20.828s
sys 0m2.859s 0m3.172s

And from here, begins the profiling

Stage 2 profiling

Gprof
After having to install many many MANY software required on to my own machine AGAIN, I was finally able to run "gprof" but the results was not very satisfying.

I executed sudo gprof /(absolute path)/xz after I used the software to compress a 400M mkv file.
And I assume when all the times are in 0.00, something is wrong.

Perf
I also executed perf record and got an error in which I am stuck on
After spending more than 4 hours with my friends trying to resolve this, I decided to post this and come back to this again tomorrow.

Course Project Stage 1: deciding which software

Introduction I have finally entering the final stages of SPO600. At this point we (students) are to decide on a software to study upon as the final project of this course. To my understanding, this project consist of three stages: -Fine an open source software (ie. codec) and benchmark its performance on both Aarch64 and x86_64 -Identify the area of poor performance on the software and methods for improvement on both Aarch64 and x86_64 -Dive into the identified area and identify what approaches we have for improvement. Demonstrate on both Aarch64 and x86_64 Deciding on the software After many days of reading..... to be honest I still haven't fully grasp on the detailed procedures of what I have to do. I believe I lack the knowledge to execute all the task required. Since I don't feel confidence in my ability to completing the project, I believe its best to pick a software which I believe I understands. In this case, I decided on one of the file compression software. ...

Course Project Stage 2 Introduction

Issue has arrived!! Since I pushed my work for SPO600 till today because of my other focuses in other school works (my own fault), an issue has arrived. Today unexpectedly all the school remote machine rejected all my attempt for connection. A few days ago, there was an email send from the professor talking about all the machines are going through mass restarts on Friday. We were told to expect Aarchie and Israel might continue to be unavailable even after restart because the restart is done remotely. But today I wasn't able to connection to Bbetty and Xerxes as well which are the only other machines I have access to. Now, I have no choice but resort to one of my last resorts. I'll have to enable the windows subsystem for Linux on my laptop and work from there. Since I don't use my laptop for anything other than school work, this will keep my bench marking and profiling errors to minimum. My laptop system type is 64-bit OS, this would cover at least the Aarch64 part of...
