Making Software Performance Measurements
The Software Performance Measurement Tool (SPMT) is a feature of the
Softkey Interface that allows you to make software performance
measurements on your programs.
The SPMT allows you to make some of the measurements that are possible
with the HP 64708 Software Performance Analyzer and its Graphical User
Interface (HP B1487).
The SPMT post-processes information from the analyzer trace list. When you
end a performance measurement, the SPMT dumps the post-processed
information to a binary file, which is then read using the perf32 report
generator utility.
Two types of software performance measurements can be made with the
SPMT: activity measurements, and duration measurements.
This chapter describes tasks you perform while using the Software
Performance Measurement Tool (SPMT). These tasks are grouped into the
following sections:
•
Activity performance measurements.
•
Duration performance measurements.
•
Running performance measurements and creating reports.
