  • 0

I’m using the Performance Analyzer in Visual Studio 2010 and I’m trying to profile CPU Counters such as Last Level Cache Misses, but no matter what I’ve tried I cannot see the captured counter data in the resulting reports.

Here is my configuration:

  • Running VS as Administrator
  • The project is set to Debug x64 (also tried Release x64)

General

  • Profiling Collection: Instrumentation (also tried ‘Sampling’)
  • Data collection control: enabled

Sampling

  • Sample event: Performance counter
  • Sampling interval: 1000
  • Selected Counter: Portable Events –> Memory Events –> Last Level Cache Misses

CPU Counters

  • Collect CPU Counters: enabled
  • Selected counters: Portable Events –> Memory Events –> Last Level Cache Misses

I found an article that describes the process (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/profiler/archive/2010/06/22/cpu-performance-counters-in-visual-studio-2010-profiler.aspx), but I can’t get the results to show up anywhere. Clearly I am doing something wrong, can any suggest a solution to this problem?

    It turns out the system I was using was a Hyper-V instance. Consequently, processor metrics like L2 Cache are not available because it’s a virtual environment.
