TAU - comparison window

[Shin01]

I missed the scalability test using the comparison window. How does
one open the comparison window on Tau?

Hi,

   I haven't used this feature, and am using a mac with a right click--- but here is what the manual states:

Comparative analysis in ParaProf is based on individual threads of execution. There is a maximum of one Comparison window for a given ParaProf session. To add threads to the window, right click on them and select "Add Thread to Comparison Window". The Comparison Window will pop up with the thread selected. Note that "mean" and "std. dev." are considered threads for this any most other purposes.

Thank you very much!

Hi,

  I believe that you have to click on the Experiment Subdirectory-- right above the green balls in the Manager window ("Tau-PROFILE_BNL..." in the figure below):

 

You will see a list.  Click on the “Add Mean to Comparison Window”, and a comparison window will pop up.

Best,

Kent
