Windows Performance Analysis Tools

The Windows Performance Tools (WPT) Kit contains performance analysis tools. Windows Performance Tools are designed for analysis of a wide range of performance problems including application start times, boot issues, deferred procedure calls and interrupt activity (DPCs and ISRs), system responsiveness issues, application resource usage, and interrupt storms.

To get the installer, you have to install the Windows 7 SDK.

Download the Web Installer and select the Win32 Development Tools



and install them. Now go to the path:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\bin

and look for the 3 files wpt_ia64.msi, wpt_x64.msi and wpt_x86.msi.

If the Installation of the Web- Installer fails or you have a limited Internet Connection, download the Visual Studio 2010 Diagnostic Tool. Extract the file PerformanceDiagnosticsSetup.exe



and go the folder Windows Performace Suite

.

There you can also find the 3 MSI Installer files.

Now install the MSI which meets your Windows (wpt_ia64.msi if you're running an Itanium Windows, wpt_x64.msi if you run a 64Bit Windows Vista/7/Server 2008 (R2) or wpt_x86.msi if you run a 32Bit Vista/7/Server 2008).

Now you are ready to follow my xperf guides here on msfn:

Does xperf only work for Windows 7 ?
I have windows XP and big issues with interrupts using 95% of my CPU on Windows XP. So I was trying to follow your instructions but somehow it doesn't work.
When I find the MSI file as per above and install, it tells me it has installed successfully. But then the xperf command doesn't seem to work...
thanks!

You don't really have to download the whole SDK to do this. Over at reboot.pro http://reboot.pro/13...__1#entry113919 they've presented an excellent way to remotely mount an ISO (http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en) through HTTPDisk and get just what you need at the moment.

install WPT on Vista/7 and copy the folder to XP and run the trace there.

AM having a network related DPC I recorded 2 files, but forgot to change the name on the second, so thinking both of these might be the same, here is my link, and seems to be with newzleecher bad, and firefox minor, though newsleecher sees 4.4MB/s, though sometimes 2.5-3.5 with DPC's, and firefox was only d/ling at 850KB/s-1.2MB/s. I have updated my Realtek drivers for NIC. I can list other performance tests, and monitors. Seems the trouble spawned while using MSI updater and AISuiteII updater. If I try to use AISuiteII updater I get a ASupio.sys BSOD, so haven't been using it. But seems that somehow from these updaters, I now have the mass CPU usage from d/ling. I really only see about 60%(newsleecher) and 40%(firefox). I have asus m599x evo(MB) AMD Phenom X4 805 OC'd to 3.26, and 16GB Corsair LP Vengeance 12800 @ 1732. MSI GTX550Ti VGU, and realtek OB NIC

please post inside the DPC/Interrupt topic next time.

Your driver of the Realtek is "Rt64win7.sys", "7.043.0321.2011 built by: WinDDK", but the latest version is 7.046:

And the realtek chips have no own CPu to do operations and the main CPu must do all work.

Hi

My installation of Windows Performance Tools Kit fails. What should I do? Here is the log file:SDKSetup_7.0.6918.0.log

[MagicAndre1981]

this is a good question.

do you see this file? You can also try to get the Visual Studio 2010 tool or try the Windows7.1 SDK:

I am installing the 7.046, in hopes that this fixes my error. Though one question to this is, that I also have a belkin usb wi-n and with the realtek driver disabled was still having the same error, so thinking this will not fix my problem, will post soon enough though

I still have the same problem, so this is not the source of it.

I dowloaded Visual studio 2010 tool and that installation succeeded. Dumb question but do I still have to install Windows 7.1 SDK?

no, If you have installed WPT you don't need to install the SDK any longer.
