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

       tau2profile - convert TAU tracefiles to TAU profile files

SYNOPSIS

       tau2vprofile [-d directory] [-s snapshot_interval] {tau_tracefile} {tau_eventfile}

DESCRIPTION

       This program is generated when TAU is configured with the -TRACE option.

       The tau2profile converter takes a single tau_tracefile (*.trc) and tau_eventfile (*.edf) and produces a corresponding series of profile
       files. The input files must be specified in that order, with optinal parameters coming afterward. Multi-file TAU traces must be merged
       before conversion.

OPTIONS

       -d Output profile files to the specified 'directory' rather than the current directory.

       -s Output a profile snapshot showing the state of the profile data accumulated from the trace every 'snapshot_interval' time units. The
       snapshot profiles are placed sequentially in directories labled 'snapshot_n' where 'n' is an integer ranging from 0 to to the total number
       of snapshots -1.

EXAMPLES

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

       tau2profile merged.trc tau.edf

       The following will convert merged.trc and tau.edf to a series of profiles one directory higher. It will also produce a profile snapshot
       every 250,000 time units:

       tau2profile merged.trc tau.edf -d ./.. -s 250000
