Hello friends,

Lately i have been trying to use GNU utilities.
I found gprof and gcov and useful utilities.

In my quest for optimization for a particular application, i wanted to know

"Is there any tool available which groups instructions into different types.
When we execute a certain application assembly language instructions are executed. So is there any tool to group these intructions into different categories?"

Like
load and store type of instructions
arithmetic instructions
floating point instructions
branch instructions

This data can be useful, if we come to know that for a application , which type of instructions are consuming the maximum of instruction type.

Waiting for comments and replies.

with no replies,

seems like nobody understood the question.

There is one tool "Triton Tuner" which groups different instructions into instruction types , this is called "instruction mix". But the limitation of this tool is that it can group instructions of ARM 926 and ARM966 only.

So i thought that such might be available on intel architectures , so i specifically asked that if there is any tool which can group different instructions executed on any architecture into different instruction types i.e. addressing modes.

Still hopeful of reply.
