Intel® Fortran Compiler 17.0 Developer Guide and Reference

guide-profile, Qguide-profile

Specifies a loop profiler data file (or a set of files) when used with option -guide or /Qguide.

Syntax

Linux and macOS:

-guide-profile=filename|dir [, [filename|dir]...]

Windows:

/Qguide-profile:filename|dir [, [filename|dir]...]

Arguments

filename

Is an .xml file created from a loop profiler run.

dir

Is a directory that contains one or more .xml files from a loop profiler run.

Default

OFF

When the [Q]guide option is specified, the guide region is the whole file or the region specified by option [Q]guide-opts.

Description

This option specifies a loop profiler data file (or a set of files) when used with the [Q]guide option.

This option has no effect unless the [Q]guide option has been specified. Option [Q]guide-profile helps you take advantage of the [Q]guide option to more efficiently optimize your applications for auto parallelism and/or vectorization.

The loop profile data file can be collected by using one of the following options:

When the data is from [Q]profile-loops, the setting of the guide regions will be based upon the hottest loops.

When the data is from [Q]profile-functions, the guide region will be the entire function containing the hottest functions.

If you specify options [Q]guide-opts and [Q]guide-profile, the compiler issues an error message.
