HOT-SPOT ANALYSIS SUPPORT IN XLF ON RS/6000?

ITEM: RTA000015600



QUESTION:                                                                       
Is there any way of doing "hot-spot" analysis of FORTRAN code                   
with the XLF compiler on RS/6000.  THis is available under VS FORTRAN           
on the mainframe and is considered an important tool for performance            
tuning of large FORTRAN computational codes.  The system can  report            
on percentage of CPU time consumed by all lines of source code                  
or subroutines in the code.  This can identify where to concentrate             
effort in reducing the computational time.

A:  A function similar to VS FORTRAN's "hot-spot" analyzer is available         
  for XL FORTRAN via the "-p" compiler options flag for debugging. Use of       
  this option sets up the object file for profiling (this will analyze          
  usage of subroutines in program).
