As Mark alluded to, I'm not a Perl person at all :) In fact I used this analyzer as a way to learn some Perl syntax. So I'm looking for advice on how to make it better. Personally I thought about using Python since I know that much better but I wanted to experiment with Perl.
I'm keeping some information around in arrays for the next stage of development - I just haven't gotten there yet. I'm working on a couple of new things - creating a histogram of the IO pattern and creating an IO simulator of the strace file. But, it's probably a good idea to go back and fix these bugs. I'm traveling and won't be able to get to my desktop until this weekend. Then I will see what I can do. Until then, if anyone has any suggestions, go for it. It if works, let me have a patch or tell me what to fix. Also, if anyone has any suggestions on better ways of storing data rather than the current method (arrays) - I'm all ears. Any thoughts on periodically dumping the arrays to a file or even just dumping the data to files as it parses? Might be slow, but it shouldn't then choke on large files. Could be a command line switch. Mark - again thanks for jumping in for me. I really appreciate it.

I think the parser could be improved. in this case, it seems to be choking on lines like: 23:34:13.502857 read(7, 0xbfffc670, 32) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) on 310, junk="unavailable" - the code should handle -1 specially, since it shouldn't be accumulated to $ReadBytesTotal. > BTW:I've install the perl module strict and Getopt::long, and the tool > exhausts my laptop's memory(1.2G) while running. I guess the code isn't intended to profile >409105-line traces on a laptop ;) it's a WIP, and stores a lot of stuff that it doesn't currently use, and could probably be stored more compactly... regards, mark hahn. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
