A.2.1.1. Reviewing System Information

Use the System View in the System Viewer report to view of the various components in your system as well as the tasks. Additionally, this view displays the connectivity between a component and its tasks.

Click the system in the Graph List pane to see the system in the Graph View pane.

The System View of the System Viewer shows ihc::launch and ihc::collect calls that are the synchronization points from component/task to the task function. They are represented as write nodes (labeled WR) and read nodes (labeled RD) that connect to the call.task_name and return.task_name nodes of the corresponding task.

This report also shows explicit streaming interfaces between tasks with the name of the stream displayed as a rectangular node in the connection between the tasks connected by the streaming interface.
