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

cgprof (HP-UX only) cstack scgprof

ecount

fcount (HP-UX only) fcover (HP-UX only)

alat branch dcache dtlb fprof icache itlb traps

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).

These reports produce tables with the requested performance information. The reports show aggregated values for all threads of a multithreaded application. The reports show the results by load module.

These reports follow the same pattern:

•Thread Summary

•Load Module Summary for all threads

•Function Summary for all threads

•Function Details for all threads

•These sections, repeated for each thread:

◦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.
