rocprof human readable printout

[ye-luo]

I drive rocprof mostly via command line with "--stats". A csv file is friendly to excel but not really to human who just want to take a quick look by cat. So could you provide an option to output human readable tables?

The ugly look now

$ cat results.hsa_stats.csv
"Name","Calls","TotalDurationNs","AverageNs","Percentage"

cat results.hsa_stats.csv | trace ',' '\t' or similar might be a workaround for now. Outputting a percentage as 53.91378585000949 doesn't seem ideal though.

Thanks @ye-luo for reaching us out.
I will pass this information to developer and will share update once I get it.
Thank you.

column -t -s, results.hip_stats.csv or even column -t -s, -R 2,3,4 results.hip_stats.csv can be used for better formatting, but I agree that human-readable output of rocprof would be great.

Hi @ye-luo, has your issue been addressed? Do we still need to keep this ticket opened? Thanks.

[ye-luo]

Don’t make a joke. It is as bad as it was.

[nartmada]

Sorry @ye-luo, it was not meant as a joke. I am trying to sort out which issues have been fixed and which ones still need AMD's attention. I will forward your concerns regarding readable printout to the rocprof team. Thanks.

Hi @ye-luo, wanted to provide a quick update on this issue. The rocprof team is aware of it and they have added it to their queue of features to implement. In the meantime, there are a few different options to make the csv output more readable such as the column command mentioned by @ex-rzr or third party tools like csvkit.

The latter outputs the following
