HP UX IPFilter Software manual Dcache-data-profile, Database, Dcache-hits, Dcache-stores, Dbrp

The CSV reports are formatted to load in an easy-to-read format in a spreadsheet using a fixed-width typeface such as Courier or for further processing. The filename is the destination.

You can generate reports in CSV or text formats on any given run.

append	Adds the report results to the end of an existing file that has the specified name.
create	Creates a file with the specified name and writes the report results to the file.
	Replaces any existing file with the specified name.
per-process	For multiprocess reports, creates individual report files for each process with
	program name appended to each file.
shared	Creates a single file containing the results for all processes. This is the default.
unique	Appends the process ID to the data file name.

Examples

To generate a CSV report:

caliper measurement --csv-file filename ...

To generate a CSV file from information previously saved in a data file:

$ caliper report --csv-file filename datafilename

--dcache-data-profile

Specifies that the dcache measurement should report a Data Summary. The Data Summary report shows data cache samples aggregated to global variables and process regions such as stack, heap, data, and so forth.

This option is used only with the dcache measurement. By default, dcache does not report a data summary. This option was formerly known as --data-summary. The former option name is still accepted by HP Caliper, but is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

For more information, see “dcache Measurement Report Description” (page 193).

--database

See “-d or --database” (p. 49).

--dcache-hits

Specifies that the dcache measurement should report data cache "hits" i.e. no of accesses in the FLD(L1 data) cache.

This option is used only with the dcache measurement. By default, dcache measurement does not report a data cache hit. This option is enabled only on Intel® Itanium® 9500 processor systems.

--dcache-stores

Specifies that the dcache measurement should report data cache store miss profile instead of data cache load profile.

This option is used only with the dcache measurement. By default, dcache measurement reports data cache load profile. With this option you can see the number of stores which missed the FLD(L1 data) cache. This option is enabled only on Intel® Itanium® 9500 processor systems.

--dbrp

--dbrp=DBRP_INDEX,PLM,ADDR_MATCH,ADDR_MASK,PROC_FLAGS

Specifies the bits to program the PMU's data address range matching registers. Forces event monitoring to be constrained by data address ranges.

DBRP_INDEXX can be 0, 1, 2 or 3. It identifies one of the four Data Breakpoint Registers (DBRs) used to specify the desired address range.
