NAME
     ssperf - SpeedShop Performance Analyzer

SYNOPSIS
     ssperf <experiment-record> [... <experiment-record>]

DESCRIPTION
     Note: The version of ssperf in this release is not functional.  PLEASE DO
     NOT USE.  Use prof instead.

     ssperf presents a graphical display of the performance data gathered in a
     SpeedShop Performance experiment(s) whose output data is given by the
     command line arguments.  The main window has a Experiment and status
     component, a Function List component, and a TimeLine component.

     The Experiment and Status-simply states the task or objective that the
     user selected for this experiment.

     The Function List-component is an annotated list of all the functions in
     the program. The annotations available depend on the experiment task;
     annotations can be enabled or disabled by bringing up the Preferences
     Dialog from the Config menu.  The data shown is for the time interval
     selected by the TimeLine calipers.

     The TimeLine component-displays the experiment as a set of events over
     time, and provides calipers to allow the user to specify a interval of
     interest.

     There are also eight additional views:

     Call Stack View-presents the callstack at the event currently selected,
     either from the TimeLine component of the main window, or from any of the
     event-list windows.

     Butterfly View-presents the selected function in the center of the
     window, with its callers above, and callees below.  Each line contains
     data covering the time interval selected by the calipers.

     Fpe View-presents a list of all the fpe's (floating-point execeptions)
     generated in the program, aggregated by common type and callstack.

     LeakView-presents a list of all the memory leaks generated in the
     program, aggregated by common callstack.

     Malloc View-presents a list of all the malloc allocation generated in the
     program, aggregated by common type and callstack.

     Malloc Error View-presents a list of all the malloc errors made by the
     program, aggregated by common type and callstack.
     Node View-presents a summary of all the data for a selected function.

     Usage Graph View-presents a graphical display of the process resource
     usage data in the form of stripcharts and event charts.

     Usage View-presents a textual display of the process and system wide
     resource usage data for the interval selected by the calipers.

     Working Set View-presents a list of all the DSOs in the program, and, for
     the selected DSO, a map of all of its pages, colored by the number of
     instructions executed.

     Source View-presents an annotated Source View, and is brought up by
     double-clicking on any function in the function list, with the ``Source''
     button on the main window or the Butterfly View, or by double-clicking on
     any frame in the Call Stack View.

     Disassembly View-presents an annotated Disassembled View of the currently
     selected function.
