7.5 Plotting the Node Performance Data

The xcxperf utility enables you to graph the data from the datafiles generated with its -output
option.

Figure 7-7

is a representation of the plotted output for the DB.n6.xperf data file, which

was created and plotted with the following commands:

$ /opt/xtools/bin/xcxperf DB.n6
$
$ /opt/xtools/bin/xcxperf -plot pfile DB.n6
Do you wish to view the created plots now using the command
$.../bin/gnuplot pfile.xperf.gnuplot (y/[n])? y

Node n6 is one of the nodes in the job allocation. You need to specify a plot file (pfile in this
example) to contain the plot data.

Figure 7-7 (page 80)

is an example of the plotted output from the xcxperf utility.
