NAME

       vtf2profile - Generate a TAU profile set from a vampir trace file

SYNOPSIS

       vtf2profile [-p profile] [-i interval_start interval_end] [-c] [-h] {-f tracefile}

DESCRIPTION

       vtf2profile is created when TAU is configured with the -vtf=<vtf_dir> option. This tool converts a VTF trace file (*.vpt) to a tau profile
       set (profile.A.B.C where A, B and C are the node, context and thread numbers respectively).

       The vtf file to be read is specified in the command line by the -f flag followed by the file's location. The VTF tracefile specified may be
       in gzipped form, eg app.vpt.gz. -p is similarly used to specify the relative path to the directory where the profile files should be
       stored. If no output directory is specified the current directory will be used. A contiguous interval within the vtf file may be selected
       for conversion by using the -i flag followed by two integers, representing the timestamp of the start and end of the desired interval
       respectively. The entire vtf file is converted if no interval is given.

OPTIONS

       -f tracefile -Specify the Vampir tracefile to be converted.

       -p profile -Specify the location where the profile file(s) should be written.

       -i interval_start interval_end -Limit the profile produced to the specified interval within the vampir trace file.

       -c -Opens a command line interface for the program.

       -h -Displays a help message.

EXAMPLES

       To convert a vampir tracefile, trace.vpt, to an equivalent TAU profile, use the following:

       vtf2profile -f trace.vpt

       To produce a TAU profile in the ./profiles directory representing only the events from the start of the tracefile to timestamp 6000, use:

       vtf2profile -f trace.vpt -p ./profiles -i 0 6000

NAME

       tau_convert - convert TAU tracefiles into various alternative trace formats

SYNOPSIS

       tau_convert [[-alog] [-SSDF] [-dump] [-paraver [-t]] [-pv]
		   [-vampir [ -longsymbolbugfix ] [ -compact ] [[ -user ] [ -class ] [ -all ]] [ -nocomm ]]] [outputtrc] {inputtrc} {edffile}

DESCRIPTION

       tau_convert is generated when TAU is configured with the -TRACE option.

       This program requires specification of a TAU tracefile and eventfile. It will convert the given TAU traces to the ASCII-based trace format
       specified in the first argument. The conversion type specification may be followed by additional options specific to the conversion type.
       It defaults to the single threaded vampir format if no other format is specified. tau_convert also accepts specification of an output file
       as the last argument. If none is given it prints the converted data to the standard out.

OPTIONS

       -alog convert TAU tracefile into the alog format (This format is deprecated. The SLOG2 format is recommended.)

       -SDDF convert TAU tracefile into the SDDF format

       -dump convert TAU tracefile into multi-column human readable text

       -paraver convert TAU tracefile into paraver format

       -t indicate conversion of multi threaded TAU trace into paraver format

       -pv convert single threaded TAU tracefile into vampir format (all -vampir options apply) (default)

       -vampir convert multi threaded TAU tracefile into vampir format

       -longsymbolbugfix make the first characters of long, similar identifier strings unique to avoid a bug in vampir

       -compact abbreviate individual event entries

       -all compact all entries (default)

       -user compact user entries only

       -class compact class entries only

       -nocomm disregard communication events

       [outputtrc] specify the name of the output tracefile to be produced

EXAMPLES

       To print the contents of a TAU tracefile to the screen:

       tau_convert -dump app.trc tau.edf

       To convert a merged, threaded TAU tracefile to paraver format:

       tau_convert -paraver -t app.trc tau.edf app.pv
