HPFCombine(1)     

NAME
       HPFCombine  -  generate  a single performance file in SDDF
       format.

SYNOPSIS
       HPFCombine [ -Aa ] [ -Bb ] [ -o output file ]  input  file
       ...

DESCRIPTION
       HPFCombine  is  a  program  which combines the per-process
       trace files into a single performance file in SDDF format.
       The output file -- output file contains procedure and line
       statistics for the metrics accumulated during  runtime  in
       the  per-process trace files -- input file.  It is used as
       input to the graphical performance browser, SvPablo.  Dif-
       ferent  metrics  are  collected  for  procedure  and  line
       statistics, which  are  classified  into  different  cate-
       gories.   For  each  of these metrics, the HPF performance
       file contains the correspondent  accumulated  values  from
       each  of  the  processes and the following statistics com-
       puted by HPFCombine:

       mean

       standard deviation

       minimum value

       process number corresponding to the minimum value

       maximum value

       process number corresponding to the maximum value

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -A or -a       specifies an ASCII output file.

       -B or -b       specifies a binary output file.

       -o output file specifies the output file name.  By default
                      HFPCombine  generates  a  binary  SDDF file
                      named "svPabloHPFtrace.", where  "pid"
                      is HPFCombine's process ID.
