ANALYZER(1)

NAME
analyzer - Motif interface for analyzing an experiment that is generated by using the Collector from the WorkShop Debugging window.

SYNOPSIS
analyzer [ experiment ]

AVAILABILITY

Available with ANSI C and Sun FORTRAN, Pascal, C++, and Assembler.

DESCRIPTION

The Analyzer is a graphical data analysis tool that helps analyze performance data that is collected using the Behavior Data Collector from the Workshop Debugging window. During the execution of a process under the WorkShop Debugging window, the Collector gathers profiling information. Using this collected data, the Collector creates an experiment. The Analyzer reads in the experiment, analyzes the data, and displays that data in a graphical display. The displays supported by the Analyzer are: Overview, Histogram, Cumulative Histogram, Address Space, and Statistics. If the experiment is not specified on the command line, then it needs to be opened from within the Analyzer.

In addition to analyzing the data, the Analyzer also provides a function reordering capability. Based on the experiment, the Analyzer can generate a mapfile that when used with the static linker (ld) to relink the application creates an executable with a smaller working set size.

The analyzer also provide the ability to select and fully delete experiments.

To activate the Analyzer, you can type analyzer [ experiment ] or click on the Analyzer button from the tool bar in the main WorkShop window.

The Analyzer supports Help on all of its button menus and pop-up windows.
