NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     ssperf - SpeedShop	Performance Analyzer

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     ssperf <experiment-record>	[... <experiment-record>]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     Note: The version of ssperf in this release is not	functional.  PLEASE DO
     NOT USE.  Use prof	instead.

     ssperf presents a graphical display of the	performance data gathered in a
     SpeedShop Performance experiment(s) whose output data is given by the
     command line arguments.  The main window has a Experiment and status
     component,	a Function List	component, and a TimeLine component.

     The Experiment and	Status-simply states the task or objective that	the
     user selected for this experiment.

     The Function List-component is an annotated list of all the functions in
     the program. The annotations available depend on the experiment task;
     annotations can be	enabled	or disabled by bringing	up the Preferences
     Dialog from the Config menu.  The data shown is for the time interval
     selected by the TimeLine calipers.

     The TimeLine component-displays the experiment as a set of	events over
     time, and provides	calipers to allow the user to specify a	interval of
     interest.

     There are also eight additional views:

     Call Stack	View-presents the callstack at the event currently selected,
     either from the TimeLine component	of the main window, or from any	of the
     event-list	windows.

     Butterfly View-presents the selected function in the center of the
     window, with its callers above, and callees below.	 Each line contains
     data covering the time interval selected by the calipers.

     Fpe View-presents a list of all the fpe's (floating-point execeptions)
     generated in the program, aggregated by common type and callstack.

     LeakView-presents a list of all the memory	leaks generated	in the
     program, aggregated by common callstack.

     Malloc View-presents a list of all	the malloc allocation generated	in the
     program, aggregated by common type	and callstack.

     Malloc Error View-presents	a list of all the malloc errors	made by	the
     program, aggregated by common type	and callstack.

     Node View-presents	a summary of all the data for a	selected function.

     Usage Graph View-presents a graphical display of the process resource
     usage data	in the form of stripcharts and event charts.

     Usage View-presents a textual display of the process and system wide
     resource usage data for the interval selected by the calipers.

     Working Set View-presents a list of all the DSOs in the program, and, for
     the selected DSO, a map of	all of its pages, colored by the number	of
     instructions executed.

     Source View-presents an annotated Source View, and	is brought up by
     double-clicking on	any function in	the function list, with	the ``Source''
     button on the main	window or the Butterfly	View, or by double-clicking on
     any frame in the Call Stack View.

     Disassembly View-presents an annotated Disassembled View of the currently
     selected function.
