Description
|
|
|
•
|
nprofile (or nprofile.exe on Windows) is a command line executable that can be used to efficiently process huge profile files, as generated by kernelopts(profile=true). This command includes all functionality currently available in the Maple exprofile and excallgraph functions.
|
|
•
|
The utility lives under the Maple installation directory in the specific Maple binary directory for the current platform. For example, on 32-bit Linux this would be <Maple install directory>/bin.IBM_INTEL_LINUX.
|
|
•
|
The data sort mode can be specified with a '-' option. The names have been chosen to be compatible with exprofile and excallgraph:
|
|
-alpha - sort table alphabetically by name of function
|
|
-ralpha - sort table reverse alphabetically by name of function
|
|
-time - sort table by increasing usage of cpu time
|
|
-rtime - sort table by decreasing usage of cpu time
|
|
-words - sort table by increasing usage of memory
|
|
-rwords - sort table by decreasing usage of memory
|
|
-calls - sort table by increasing number of calls to each function
|
|
-rcalls - sort table by decreasing number of calls to each function
|
|
-load - sort table by increasing memory^2*time
|
|
-rload - sort table by decreasing memory^2*time
|
|
|
|
|
The default sort mode for a profile is -rload.
