TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DY(3) 				      TAU Instrumentation API					   TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DY(3)

NAME

       TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DYNAMIC - Defines a dynamic timer.

SYNOPSIS

       C/C++:

       TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DYNAMIC(Profiler timer, char* or string& function_name, char* or string& type, TauGroup_t group);

       Fortran:

       TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DYNAMIC(integer profiler(2), character name(size));

DESCRIPTION

       TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DYNAMIC operates similar to TAU_PROFILE_TIMER except that the timer is created each time the statement is invoked. This
       way, the name of the timer can be different for each execution.

EXAMPLE

       C/C++ :

       int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	 int i;
	 TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(t,"main()", "", TAU_DEFAULT);
	 TAU_PROFILE_SET_NODE(0);
	 TAU_PROFILE_START(t);

	 for (i=0; i&5; i++) {
	   char buf[32];
	   sprintf(buf, "Iteration %d", i);

	   TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DYNAMIC(timer, buf, "", TAU_USER);
	   TAU_PROFILE_START(timer);
	   printf("Iteration %d
", i);
	   f1();

	   TAU_PROFILE_STOP(timer);
	 }
	 return 0;
       }

       Fortran :

       subroutine ITERATION(val)
	 integer val
	 character(13) cvar
	 integer profiler(2) / 0, 0 /
	 save profiler

	 print *, "Iteration ", val

	 write (cvar,'(a9,i2)') 'Iteration', val
	 call TAU_PROFILE_TIMER_DYNAMIC(profiler, cvar)
	 call TAU_PROFILE_START(profiler)

	 call F1()
	 call TAU_PROFILE_STOP(profiler)
	 return
       end
