It utilizes the newest libraries and | is able to automatically save and restore it's | previous settings. | | See the CURRENT VERSION section for details. | ====================+======================================================= DESCRIPTION | This is a profiler for tcl scripts. It allows | the creation of profiling data for your tcl scripts | and later analysis and detailed inspection through a | graphical frontend. | | This tool is especially well suited if you encounter | performance problems with your tcl programs. Instead | of rewriting the whole application in C you can | isolate time-critical procedures and speed them up | (if necessary using C). This gives you a competetive | speed increase and saves development time. | | Here are some highlights: o | call flow display o | barcharts for number of calls, cpu time and real time o | tabular display of profiling data set o | analyse both tcl procs and commands written in C o | graphical user interface, easy use o | simple aquisition of profiling data o | easy configuration and installation | | This version is limited to noncommercial use. The | software is also available as a commercial version. | It adds the following features: o | 'zoom in' on interesting subsets of the data o | sorting o | printout of data sets o | postscript (eps) images of charts and tables o | merging of multiple data sets o | exporting data sets in different formats to inspect | them further (eg. sc/xspread, Wingz, DBase, text) o | a lot faster o | full support, upgrades o | complete documentation | ====================+======================================================== LOCATION | You can download the public-domain version of the | program from the following archives | | http://www.neosoft.com/tcl/ftparchive/sorted/devel | ftp://ftp.neosoft.com/pub/tcl/sorted/devel | ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/?? o | tprof2.2.README o | tprof2.2-info.tar.gz o | tprof2.2-base.tar.gz o | tprof2.2-pub.tar.gz o | tprof2.2-pub.linux.tar.gz o | tprof2.2-english.tar.gz o | tprof2.2-german.tar.gz o | tprof2.2-demo.tar.gz | | You need the base, public and operating system specific | packages to run the programm.
