Creating logfiles


Up: The MPE library of useful extensions Next: Parallel X Graphics Previous: The MPE library of useful extensions

MPE provides several ways to generate logfiles that describe the progress of a computation. These logfiles can be viewed with upshot, nupshot, or Jumpshot. In addition, you can customize these logfiles to add application-specific information.

The easiest way to generate logfiles is to link your program with a special MPE library that uses the profiling feature of MPI to intercept all MPI calls in an application. To find out how to link with a profiling library that produces log files automatically, see Section Accessing the profiling libraries .

You can create customized logfiles for viewing with upshot or Jumpshot by calls to the various mpe logging routines. For details, see the mpe man pages. An example is shown in Section Customizing logfiles .

To be added in later editions of this User's Guide:

* All mpe logging routines
* Format of logfiles
* An example logfile
