The experiment directory contains profile files that store the experiment
data, and archive files that store information about the load objects that
are used by the program.
For a given program, the archive files have the same content for any
experiment. You can determine the size of the archive files by running a
very short experiment.
To estimate the size of the profile file, take into account the
following factors:
-
The kinds of performance data that you collect. Each data point
contains between 50 and 100 bytes of event-specific information.
-
The number of LWPs that the program uses. Data points are
recorded for each LWP.
-
The depth of the call stack. Four bytes of information is stored for
each function in the call stack (8 bytes for SparcTM V9 executables).
-
The profiling interval, hardware counter overflow value and
synchronization delay threshold. More data is collected for smaller
values of these quantities.
-
The run time for the program.
