Logfile Creation


Up: The MPE library of useful extensions Next: Logfile Format Previous: The MPE library of useful extensions

MPE provides several ways to generate logfiles that describe the progress of a computation. These logfiles can be viewed with one of the graphical tools distributed with MPE. In addition, you can customize these logfiles to add application-specific information.

The easiest way to generate logfiles is to link your program with a special MPE library that uses the profiling feature of MPI to intercept all MPI calls in an application. To find out how to link with a profiling library that produces log files automatically, see Section Accessing the profiling libraries .

You can create customized logfiles for viewing by calls to the various MPE logging routines. For details, see the MPE man pages. An example is shown in Section Customized Logging .

To be added in later editions of this User's Guide:

* All MPE logging routines
* An example logfile
