This chapter:
Introduces you to the Software Performance Measurement
Tool (SPMT) and describes the types of measurements
you can make with it.
Describes the process of using the SPMT.
Shows you how to make SPMT measurements on the
supplied demo program.
The Software Performance Measurement Tool (SPMT) is a feature
of the Softkey Interface that allows you to make software
performance measurements on your programs.
The SPMT post-processes information from the analyzer trace list.
When you end a performance measurement, the SPMT dumps the
post-processed information to a binary file, which is then read
using the perf32 report generator utility.
Two types of software performance measurements can be made
with the SPMT: activity measurements, and duration
measurements.
