For
Tru64 UNIX
This installation
guide describes how to install DCPI on Tru64 UNIX.
- Get
the release and pcount kits
Copy the DCPI release from the DCPI download page.
Uncompress and untar:
cd <dir>
zcat DCPI-<ver>.tar.Z | tar xf - This will
create a directory DCPI-<ver>.
- Install
DCPI daemon, utilities, and dynamically loadable driver
By default, the DCPI-<ver>/INSTALL script
may copy the DCPI loader to /sbin, make links to the utilities and man pages
from /usr/bin and /usr/man, and
install the pcount driver in /var/subsys. Edit
the script to suit local preference, then run it from the directory DCPI-<ver>.
- Collect
and analyze data
Make a directory to store the profile database and then start dcpid to collect
profile data.
- Subscribe
to our mailing list
Send mail to to be
added to our mailing list; this will ensure that you receive notices about
new releases, bug fixes, and other developments.
- Read the
release notes.
Notes:
- dcpisource requires perl (Perl4
or Perl5), which is available from the Perl
home page.
- DCPI
cannot be run at the same time as other tools that use
the built-in Alpha hardware performance counters (Iprobe,
kprofile, uprofile, etc.). Anything that uses the pfm or ipr device
drivers will also conflict with DCPI in its use of the
performance counters.
For Windows NT on Alpha Installation
instructions for the Windows NT version can be found in the
Windows NT kit. |
