2. _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__I_n_f_o_r_m_a_t_i_o_n
This chapter lists supplemental information to the _I_R_I_S
_S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e. The information listed here is
product- and release-specific; use it with the Installation
Guide to install this product.
2.1 _P_e_r_f_o_r_m_a_n_c_e__C_o_-_P_i_l_o_t__G_i_f_t_s__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m_s
The PCP Gifts product includes these subsystems:
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._m_a_n._p_a_g_e_s
Manual pages for the PCP Gifts product.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._m_a_n._r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s
These release notes.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._c_a_c_h_e_m_i_s_s
Empirically determine the ``miss'' penalties
associated with operations directed at the
primary and secondary hardware caches.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._d_k_m_a_p
Display disk partitioning and attempt to
determine what each partition is used for (e.g.
filesystem, swap, etc).
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._m_e_m_c_l_a_i_m
Allocate and pin down physical memory, thereby
simulating a reduction in available physical
memory.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_c_p__s_o_c_k_s
Execute arbitrary PCP applications in situations
where the communication between the application
and a remote ppppmmmmccccdddd(1) passes through a network
security firewall that supports the _s_o_c_k_d
services.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_m_d_u_m_p_t_e_x_t
Generate ASCII tables of performance metrics
from live hosts or from a Performance Co-Pilot
archive. This tool can be used to export
performance metrics into other statistical tools
for further analysis. A script which generates
files suitable for mmmmiiiinnnneeeesssseeeetttt(1) is provided as an
example.
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_m_s_n_a_p
Create performance summary snapshot images using
ppppmmmmcccchhhhaaaarrrrtttt(1) non-interactively. These images are
- 2 -
generated periodically using ccccrrrroooonnnn(1), usually
for inclusion in the local World Wide Web pages,
or for publication via performance management
reports or as presentation materials. For more
details, consult the reference page for
ccccrrrroooonnnn....ppppmmmmssssnnnnaaaapppp(1).
2.2 _P_C_P__G_i_f_t_s__S_u_b_s_y_s_t_e_m__D_i_s_k__S_p_a_c_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
This section lists the subsystems (and their sizes) of PCP
Gifts.
If you are installing this product for the first time, the
subsystems marked ``default'' are the ones that are
installed if you use the ``go'' menu item. To install a
different set of subsystems, use the ``install,''
``remove,'' ``keep,'' and ``step'' commands in _i_n_s_t to
customize the list of subsystems to be installed, then
select the ``go'' menu item.
Note: The listed subsystem sizes are approximate. Refer to
the _I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for information
on finding exact sizes.
The approximate sizes are:
Subsystem Name Subsystem Size

_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._m_a_n._p_a_g_e_s 30
_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._m_a_n._r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s 10

_p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_m_s_n_a_p 20
2.3 _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n__M_e_t_h_o_d
All of the subsystems for PCP Gifts can be installed using
IRIX. You do not need to use the miniroot. Refer to the
_I_R_I_S _S_o_f_t_w_a_r_e _I_n_s_t_a_l_l_a_t_i_o_n _G_u_i_d_e for complete installation
instructions.

2.4 _P_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s
The _p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_m_s_n_a_p subsystem requires the prior
installation of the _p_c_p._s_w._m_o_n_i_t_o_r subsystem.
The _p_c_p__g_i_f_t_s._s_w._p_m_d_u_m_p_t_e_x_t subsystem requires the prior
installation of the _p_c_p._s_w._e_o_e subsystem.
All other subsystems in PCP Gifts do nnnnooootttt require prior
installation of any Performance Co-Pilot subsystems.
