The following is new software bundled with the ANSI C compiler for HP-UX 11.20.00.

  • Caliper

  • CXperf

Caliper

HP Caliper 1.0 is a new general-purpose performance analysis and performance improvement tool for Itanium-based applications bundled with HP ANSI C, HP aC++, and HP Fortran 9x. HP Caliper helps you analyze and improve the performance of your native Itanium-based programs in three ways:

  • A simple and quick way to optimize the performance of your program by providing information for compiler profile-based optimization.

  • Commands to measure the overall performance of your program.

  • Commands to drill down to identify performance parameters of specific functions in your program.

A significant advantage of HP Caliper is that it requires no special compilation, link options, or libraries for your Itanium-based programs.

HP Caliper dynamically measures performance on:

  • C, C++, and Fortran 9x binaries

  • 32- or 64-bit binaries

  • Shared or archive libraries

  • Debug or optimized programs

Another advantage is that HP Caliper performs its measurements with low overhead and for well-behaved executables, HP Caliper does not alter the semantic behavior of the target program.

Required disk space is 12 MB. Memory requirements vary with settings used for performance measurement.

Documentation

HP Caliper 1.0 includes the following documentation:

  • Online User Guide in HTML format available with the +help option.

  • Printable User Guide in PDF format.

  • Command-line option summary available with --help option

  • The caliper (1) man page.

CXperf

CXperf is bundled with ANSI C, aC++ and Fortran Compilers. CXperf runs only on HP-UX 11.x or higher. Required disk space is approximately 10MB.

CXperf is an interactive runtime performance analyzer for programs compiled in 32- and 64-bit mode with HP Fortran 90, ANSI C++, and ANSI C compilers. CXperf collects data on a per-process basis for MPI and scalar applications, and a per-thread basis for pthreads and compiler-based parallelism. Additionally, CXperf provides shared library profiling
