sampled

A measurement that measures your program's performance at regular intervals, based on CPU

measurement

events, recording the current program location and selected performance metrics. See “Sampled

 

Measurements” (p. 26).

scgprof

A measurement, provided by the scgprof measurement configuration file, that measures and

measurement

reports (an inexact) call graph profile, produced by sampling the performance monitoring unit

 

(PMU) to determine function calls.

system-wide

A measurement that is performed on all CPUs in the system. Compare with per-process

measurement

measurement.

total_cpu

The non-preferred name for the ecount measurement. This name was used in releases prior to

measurement

Release 3.9.

translation

In the Integrity servers processor family, a buffer that holds virtual to physical mappings. It contains

lookaside buffer

cross-references between the virtual and real addresses of recently referenced pages of memory,

(TLB)

and thus functions like a quick-lookup index of the pges in main memory that have been most

 

recently accessed.

trap

In the context of the traps measurement and the --traps-reportedoption, a trap, interrupt,

 

or fault.

traps measurement

A measurement, provided by the traps measurement configuration file, that collects and reports

 

a profile of traps, interrupts, and faults.

view

In the HP Caliper GUI, a tabbed page that groups related tasks.

virtual hash page

In the Integrity servers processor family, an extension of the translation lookaside buffer (TLB)

table (VHPT)

hierarchy. The VHPT is designed to enhance virtual address translation performance.

workspace

A directory where HP Caliper puts data when you are running the graphical user interface (GUI).
