Webcast description

HP Caliper is a powerful performance analysis tool for examining both application and system performance on HP Integrity systems. This talk provides an overview of HP Caliper’s capabilities and an in-depth look at new features introduced in HP Caliper versions 4.2 and 4.3. These features include:

  • Analyzing how data cache misses are serviced in the memory hierarchy (L2, L3, local c2c, cell local memory, etc.)
  • Recording system call usage of measured processes
  • Wall-clock sampling of call stacks, showing both where applications are blocked and CPU intensive
  • Measuring the effect of HyperThreading on application performance (for dual-core Itanium 2 systems)
  • Measuring the effect of traps, interrupts, and faults (for dual-core Itanium 2 systems)

Agenda

The content of this Webcast is delivered according to the following agenda:

  • Quick overview of HP Caliper
  • New features in HP Caliper 4.2 and 4.3
  • New graphical user interface (GUI) features
  • Future directions
  • Summary

Audience

This Webcast is intended for software developers working with the HP-UX operating system - both in independent software vendor and end user companies - and the channel partner and HP technical representatives who support them. In particular, this course is for developers who want to tune applications to achieve maximum performance on Integrity systems.

Objectives

After the session, the audience will be familiar with the range of capabilities that HP Caliper provides and have detailed knowledge of the newest HP Caliper features for analyzing performance on Integrity systems.
