Diagnostic Messages (possibly)

See Table 7.

Table 7 Information in HP Caliper Reports Specific to Particular Types of Reports

cgprof (HP-UX only) cstack scgprof

These reports are unique.

The cgprof report is described in “cgprof Report Description ” (p. 175).

The cstack report is described in Chapter 11 (page 132).

The scgprof report is described in “Producing a Sampled Call Graph Profile Analysis” (p. 120) and “scgprof Measurement Report Description” (p. 211).

ecount

These reports produce tables with the requested performance

fcount (HP-UX only)

information. The reports show aggregated values for all threads

fcover (HP-UX only)

of a multithreaded application. The reports show the results

 

by load module.

 

 

alat

These reports follow the same pattern:

branch

Thread Summary

dcache

Load Module Summary for all threads

dtlb

fprof

Function Summary for all threads

icache

Function Details for all threads

itlb

These sections, repeated for each thread:

traps

 

Load Module Summary for one thread

 

Function Summary for one thread

 

Function Details for one thread with a source listing and,

 

if requested, disassembly listing

 

 

Metrics You Can Use for Report Sorting and Cutoffs

HP Caliper allows you to control how results are sorted and to control the amount of data reports contain.

For most reports, you can control which metric to use for sorting and cutoffs. Specify the metric with the --sort-bymetric option. Specify the amount of data with the --detail-cutoffand the --summary-cutoffoptions. These two options have parameters that let you specify how much of the Function Details section and how much of the Function Summary section should be displayed in the report.

Table 8 (page 106) shows the metrics you can use for the --sort-bymetric option. The default value for sorting/cutoffs (if you don't use the --sort-bymetric option) is also shown.
