Video: Using XPERF to root cause CPU consumption

  • Article

Hi Debuggers,

 

Here is a short video showing how to root cause CPU consumption issues on Vista/Server 2008 and higher operating systems with Xperf.

 

For this scenario, Xperf is an easy to implement and powerful replacement for previous actions like gathering a series of dumps during the CPU, kernrate data, perfmon, other profilers, etc.

 

Xperf allows one to quickly turn on profiling and see where the CPU time is being spent by using tracing already in the box!
