[VAX83C.INFO]AAAREADME.TXT INFO ---- INFO is a performance measurement tool which displays a bar chart of the eight most compute-bound procedures within a running program image. It does this by reading the image's debug symbol table into memory, and then histogramming the program counter saved in the hardware Process Control Block. Every three seconds (user-selectable), a sorted display of the eight most compute-bound procedures is printed on the user's terminal. Info should be installed as a known image with CMEXEC privilege. The other privileges required (ALTPRI,BYPASS,WORLD), are dynamically granted during execution using the $SETPRV system service. Because INFO runs as a separate process, the user does not have to modify his source code, or to re-link his executable image file.
