% Run + Block Hits

Percentage of total sample hits directly in the call path. This represents the percentage of the

(HP-UX only)

total real time attributable to the call path.

 

 

 

% Run Hits Only

Percentage of run hits directly in the call path. This represents the percentage of the total real

(HP-UX only)

time attributable to the call path that was in a run state.

 

 

 

% Block Hits Only

Percentage of blocked hits directly in the call path. This represents the percentage of the total

(HP-UX only)

real time attributable to the call path that was in a blocked state.

 

 

 

Total Hits In Only

Percentage of total sample hits directly in the call path. This represents the percentage of the

(Linux only)

total real time attributable to the call path.

cycles Measurement Report Description

Available only on Integrity servers dual-core Itanium 2 and Itanium 9300 quad-core processor systems.

With the cycles measurement, produced by the cycles measurement configuration file, HP Caliper measures and reports a flat profile of the instruction pointers (IPs). This measurement uses the IP-EARof the dual-core Itanium 2 and Itanium 9300 quad-core processor systems.

The flat profile is produced by statistical sampling of the execution trace buffer (ETB) configured to capture IPs of retired intructions. The cycles measurement samples the ETB at a regular interval, for example, at every N CPU cycles. This provides a statistical identification of where CPU events are occurring.
