Keywords: pvm,ncube,profiling Organization: Institute of Computer Science, University of Kiel, Germany Date: 4 Jul 1997 11:34:44 +0200 Message-ID: <5pig3k$bdh@mine.informatik.uni-kiel.de> Did anyone succeed using profiling for PVM on an nCUBE? We have an nCUBE/2 and PVM 3.2 (BTW: has anyone a newer version?). I've tried several ways to profile some applications, but all failed. First, I set EXPROF_SWITCHES to 'x' or 'c' and ran my application (pvmd -D 2, xnc -s -h 0 k2m2). It simply hangs after "finishing", i.e., I get the output directly before the exit(0) statement in my program, but it doesn't return. Same applies for compiling with '-p': the program hangs at the end, and if I type CTRL-C I get: Assertion failed: cell->caller!=(CallerCell*)0, file mon.c, line 643 *** Process 12 on node 0 faulted *** Reason: bad address Node 0; 1> where start [crt.s,?] () at 0xc Any hints what to try next? I need some profiling data since a program generated by a compiler (from a student) is about 50% slower than a hand-made program...
