TAU_PROFILE_TIMER

NAME

TAU_PROFILE_TIMER - Defines a static timer.

SYNOPSIS

C/C++:

TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(Profiler timer, char* or string& function_name, char* or string& type, TauGroup_t group);

Fortran:

TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(integer profiler(2), character name(size));

DESCRIPTION

C/C++ :

With TAU_PROFILE_TIMER, a group of one or more statements is profiled. This macro has a timer variable as its first argument, and then strings for name and type, as described earlier. It associates the timer to the profile group specified in the last parameter.

Fortran :

To profile a block of Fortran code, such as a function, subroutine, loop etc., the user must first declare a profiler, which is an integer array of two elements (pointer) with the save attribute, and pass it as the first parameter to the TAU_PROFILE_TIMER subroutine. The second parameter must contain the name of the routine, which is enclosed in a single quote. TAU_PROFILE_TIMER declares the profiler that must be used to profile a block of code. The profiler is used to profile the statements using TAU_PROFILE_START and TAU_PROFILE_STOP as explained later.

EXAMPLE

C/C++ :

 template< class T, unsigned Dim >
 void BareField<T,Dim>::fillGuardCells(bool reallyFill)
 {
  // profiling macros
  TAU_TYPE_STRING(taustr, CT(*this) + " void (bool)" );
  TAU_PROFILE("BareField::fillGuardCells()", taustr, TAU_FIELD);
  TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(sendtimer, "fillGuardCells-send", 
                    taustr, TAU_FIELD);
  TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(localstimer, "fillGuardCells-locals",
                    taustr, TAU_FIELD);
  ...
 }
     
 

Fortran :

 subroutine bcast_inputs
 implicit none
 integer profiler(2)
 save profiler
                                         
 include 'mpinpb.h'
 include 'applu.incl'
                                         
 interger IERR
                                         
 call TAU_PROFILE_TIMER(profiler, 'bcast_inputs')
