The SCO OSR 5.7 system was migrated from older HP DL360 to new DL380 G7. The SMP feature was not activated on older box, it is activated now on this 4 core Xeon.
A s/w we maintain has been copied without any change over to the new box. I noticed that the application profiling does not show any Seconds and Cumulative seconds for our functions.
results from old system:
results from new system:
One more note: the last line on the prof output in Cumsecs in the old system would show pretty much the time it took to execute, on the new system it shows a number roughly ten times smaller than actual execution time.
It is static COEFF binary built with the same make file with same compiler, nothing changed between old and new environment, except SMP. The system (old and new) is pretty much one user system idle 99.9% of the time.
I guess the SMP feature is the reason for the skewed profiling. Does anybody know about this issue? Any ideas?
I have a dell machine Dell 2600 PowerEdge it has two processor (intel Xeon ).
Is there a path or a software that will work with SCO unix in order to enable second processor and how would i know that the second processor is active.
Thanks a lot guys . (1 Reply)
I have installed redhat linux 9.0 on P4 HT machine.

Interesting issue. There was some discussion on the LKML last year regarding the potential problems in concurrent applications reusing file descriptors in various scenarios. The main issue is that the reuse of a file descriptor and reception of data in a threaded application can be confused pretty... (1 Reply)

Hola, he instalado mpich2 vs. 1.2.1p1 en un cluster de biprocesadores con las opciones por defecto (antes usaba ssm pero visto que se quedaba colgado, lo he dejado con nemesis).

question goes like this :
Explain how users can profile execution of a process with help of an example?
can some one pls give me the answer?? (1 Reply)
I was wondering how can I find the culprit of a slow shutdown on my debian box? I am actually looking for a diagnosis tool that might dump the process name and amount of time it took to close the process after signal was send.
As for now I am trying to use journalctl to seek some information,... (5 Replies)

smp_rep_manufacturer
SMP_REP_MANUFACTURER(8) SMP_UTILS SMP_REP_MANUFACTURER(8)NAME
smp_rep_manufacturer - invoke REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION SMP function
SYNOPSIS
smp_rep_manufacturer [--help] [--hex] [--interface=PARAMS] [--raw] [--sa=SAS_ADDR] [--verbose] [--version] SMP_DEVICE[,N]
DESCRIPTION
Sends a SAS Management Protocol (SMP) REPORT MANUFACTURER INFORMATION request function to a SMP target. The SMP target is identified by the
SMP_DEVICE and the SAS_ADDR. Depending on the interface, the SAS_ADDR may be deduced from the SMP_DEVICE. With one interface there is one
SMP_DEVICE per machine so the SMP_DEVICE,N syntax is needed to differentiate between HBAs if there are multiple present.
OPTIONS
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options as well.
-h, --help
output the usage message then exit.
-H, --hex
output the response in hexadecimal.
-I, --interface=PARAMS
interface specific parameters. In this case "interface" refers to the path through the operating system to the SMP initiator. See
the smp_utils man page for more information.
-r, --raw
send the response to stdout in binary. All error messages are sent to stderr.
-s, --sa=SAS_ADDR
specifies the SAS address of the SMP target device. Typically this is an expander. This option may not be needed if the SMP_DEVICE
has the target's SAS address within it. The SAS_ADDR is in decimal but most SAS addresses are shown in hexadecimal. To give a number
in hexadecimal either prefix it with '0x' or put a trailing 'h' on it.
-v, --verbose
increase the verbosity of the output. Can be used multiple times
-V, --version
print the version string and then exit.
CONFORMING TO
The SMP REPORT MANUFACTURER function was introduced in SAS-1, with small additions in SAS-1.1 .
