Is there a way to see how many context switches each thread generates? (both in and out if possible) Either in X/s, or to let it run and give aggregated data after some time.
(either on linux or on windows)
I have found only tools that give aggregated context-switching number for whole os or per process.
My program makes many context switches (50k/s), probably a lot not necessary, but I am not sure where to start optimizing, where do most of those happen.
On recent GNU/Linux systems you can use SystemTap to collect the data you want on every call to sched_switch(). The schedtimes.stp example is probably a good start: http://sourceware.org/systemtap/examples/keyword-index.html#SCHEDULER
