Performance Tools on PS3

[seanyin]

Hi,

I try to use performance tools on PS3 and none of them (cpc, pdt) seems to work. I am told they are not supported yet because of the PS3 hypervisor. So I am wondering how you do performance tuning on PS3?

Thanks.

i use a mixture of spu_timer, the spu virtual clocks and then look at critical code sections in the simulator with cycle accurate mode
