Description

• 

nprofile (or nprofile.exe on Windows) is a command-line executable that can be used to efficiently process huge profile files, as generated by kernelopts(profile=true). This command includes all functionality currently available in the Maple exprofile and excallgraph functions.

• 

The utility lives under the Maple installation directory in the specific Maple binary directory for the current platform. For example, on 64-bit Linux this would be <Maple install directory>/bin.X86_64_LINUX.

• 

The data sort mode can be specified with a '-' option. The names have been chosen to be compatible with exprofile and excallgraph:

-alpha   -  sort table alphabetically by name of function

-ralpha  -  sort table reverse alphabetically by name of function

-time    -  sort table by increasing usage of cpu time

-rtime   -  sort table by decreasing usage of cpu time

-words   -  sort table by increasing usage of memory

-rwords  -  sort table by decreasing usage of memory

-calls   -  sort table by increasing number of calls to each function

-rcalls  -  sort table by decreasing number of calls to each function

-load    -  sort table by increasing memory^2*time

-rload   -  sort table by decreasing memory^2*time

  

The default sort mode for a profile is -rload.

For a description of the output format, see exprofile.
