NAME

       tau2otf - convert TAU tracefiles to OTF tracefiles for Vampir/VNG

SYNOPSIS

       tau2otf [-n streams] [-nomessage] [-v]

DESCRIPTION

       This program is generated when TAU is configured with the -otf=<otf_dir> option. The tau2otf trace converter takes a TAU formatted
       tracefile (*.trc) and a TAU event description file (*.edf) and produces an output trace file in the Open Trace Format (OTF). The user may
       specify the number of output streams for OTF. The input files and output file must be specified in that order. TAU traces should be merged
       using tau_merge prior to conversion.

OPTIONS

       -n streams Specifies the number of output streams (default is 1).  -nomessage Suppresses printing of message information in the trace.  -v
       Verbose mode sends trace event descriptions to the standard output as they are converted.

EXAMPLES

       The program must be run with the tau trace, tau event and otf output files specified in the command line in that order. Any additional
       arguments follow. The following will produced an OTF file, a pp.otf and other related event and definition files, from the TAU trace and
       event files merged.trc and tau.edf trace file:

       tau2otf merged.trc tau.edf app.otf

NAME

       tau2vtf - convert TAU tracefiles to vampir tracefiles

SYNOPSIS

       tau2vtf [-nomessage] [-v] [[-a] [-fa]] {tau_tracefile} {tau_eventfile} {vtf_tracefile}

DESCRIPTION

       This program is generated when TAU is configured with the -vtf=<vtf_dir> option.

       The tau2vtf trace converter takes a single tau_tracefile (*.trc) and tau_eventfile (*.edf) and produces a corresponding vtf_tracefile
       (*.vtf). The input files and output file must be specified in that order. Multi-file TAU traces must be merged before conversion.

       The default output file format is VTF3 binary. If the output filename is given as the .vpt.gz type, rather than .vpt, the output file will
       be gzipped. There are two additional output format options. The command line argument '-a' produces the vtf file output in ASCII VTF3
       format. The command line argument '-fa' produces the vtf file output in the FAST ASCII VTF3 format. Note that these arguments are mutually
       exclusive.

OPTIONS

       -nomessage Suppresses printing of message information in the trace.

       -v Verbose mode sends trace event descriptions to the standard output as they are converted.

       -a Print the vtf file output in the human-readable VTF3 ASCII format

       -fa Print the vtf file in the simplified human-readable FAST ASCII VTF3 format

EXAMPLES

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

       tau2vtf merged.trc tau.edf app.vpt

       The following will convert merged.trc and tau.edf to a gzipped FAST ASCII vampir tracefile app.vpt.gz, with message events omitted:

       tau2vtf merged.trc tau.edf app.vpt.gz -nomessage -fa
