NAME

       tau2profile - convert TAU tracefiles to TAU profile files

SYNOPSIS

       tau2vprofile [-d directory] [-s snapshot_interval] {tau_tracefile} {tau_eventfile}

DESCRIPTION

       This program is generated when TAU is configured with the -TRACE option.

       The tau2profile converter takes a single tau_tracefile (*.trc) and tau_eventfile (*.edf)
       and produces a corresponding series of profile files. The input files must be specified in
       that order, with optinal parameters coming afterward. Multi-file TAU traces must be merged
       before conversion.

OPTIONS

       -d Output profile files to the specified 'directory' rather than the current directory.

       -s Output a profile snapshot showing the state of the profile data accumulated from the
       trace every 'snapshot_interval' time units. The snapshot profiles are placed sequentially
       in directories labled 'snapshot_n' where 'n' is an integer ranging from 0 to to the total
       number of snapshots -1.

EXAMPLES

       The program must be run with the tau trace and tau event files specified in the command
       line in that order. Any additional arguments follow. The following will produce a profile
       file array, from the TAU trace and event files merged.trc and tau.edf trace file:

       tau2profile merged.trc tau.edf

       The following will convert merged.trc and tau.edf to a series of profiles one directory
       higher. It will also produce a profile snapshot every 250,000 time units:

       tau2profile merged.trc tau.edf -d ./.. -s 250000
