If --group-by none is specified, then the Process Summary section will potentially have multiple entries for processes with the same basename.

For more information, see “Metrics You Can Use for Report Sorting and Cutoffs” (p. 106).

Example

If you specify:

$ caliper fprof --process-cutoff ,80,0 -w

The contents of the Process Summary section is a list of processes containing:

The processes that account for 80 percent of the total IP samples of all the processes running in the system.

Only those processes that each account for more than two percent of total samples. Because percent_cutoff was not specified, HP Caliper used the default value, 2 percent.

--read-init-file

--read-init-file TrueFalse

Determines whether HP Caliper reads the .caliperinit initialization file at startup. Set to False to ignore the .caliperinit file. Default value is True.

For more information, see “Specifying Option Values with a .caliperinit Initialization File” (p. 92).

--report

Used only with the caliper info command. See “How to Display Reference Information About CPU Counters or HP Caliper Report Types” (p. 102).

--report-details

See “-r or --report-details” (p. 52).

--rule-files

Used only with the caliper advise command. See “Command Line to Invoke the Advisor” (p. 79).

--sampling-spec

See “-s or --sampling-spec” (p. 53).

--scope

--scope

processsystempset=pset_id[:pset_id:...][,attr-modattr-procattr-none]

Specifies the scope of what HP Caliper measures. HP Caliper can measure activity on individual processes (process scope, or per-process measurement) or on all CPUs in the system (system scope, or system-wide measurement), or on HP-UX systems, on the specified processor sets (psets).

The default is --scope process.

 

process

The subject of measurements is processes, specifically the

 

threads of execution that make up those processes.

 

With --scope process, the default privilege level is

 

user, but you can change this with the

 

--event-defaults option.

system

The subject of measurements is user and kernel activity on

 

all CPUs in the system, at any privilege level you choose.
