Re: [ptp-dev] Performance Framework progress

Where is the part that allows specification of external tools to launch?
I remember two xml files in the original tau plugins that looked very
useful generally:
1. generate GUI - that sounds like org.eclipse.ptp.perf.toolopts
2. specify external tools to launch - i think it was the tool.xml file -
had the compile, execute, and analyze "phases" for external tools.
                Where is that?

I am looking to implement a small extension for a first 'test'
implementation utilizing mainly the tool configuration (gui) and launching
parts first.
I'll be the guinea pig. :)  So these are the two parts that seem to be
general enough for reuse in a simple case.
Note that simple tools that aren't necessarily performance tools work here
too, that's your assumption too, right?

By my present plan the core framework would have:
org.eclipse.ptp.perf  (The core of the performance framework, operates with
the CDT launch system)
org.eclipse.ptp.perf.parallel (The extension to the performance framework
to operate with the PTP launch system)
org.eclipse.ptp.perf.toolopts (The system for parsing the tool xml files
and generating configuration GUIs therefrom)
and possibly
org.eclipse.ptp.perf.managedbuilder.other.ui (Adds an 'other' c/c++ build
configuration type that has no assumptions about valid compiler options
(some compilers don't handle things like optimization flags by default))
org.eclipse.ptp.perf.managedbuilder.photran.other.ui (The same, for photran
build configuration)

The TAU specific components are:
org.eclipse.perf.tau (Contains the tau-specific launch configuration
elements and trace/profile processing for the 'analysis' step for TAU)
org.eclipse.perf.tau.papiselect (Defines a selector tool for PAPI event
counters)
org.eclipse.perf.tau.perfdmf (Contains the system for storing tau profiles
in a perfdmf database and launching paraprof with the ability to callback
to the source editor)
org.eclipse.perf.tau.jars (Contains the TAU-provided jar files required by
the perfdmf plugin)
org.eclipse.perf.tau.selinst (Plugin for generating a selective
instrumentation file for C/C++ via context menus in the source tree and
source editor)
org.eclipse.perf.tau.selinstfort (Same as above, for fortran code)

All but the main tau plugin can probably be generalized and moved to the
core framework eventually.  The PAPI plugin is already fairly accessible to
other tools, but there is more to be done to make it general-tool friendly.
For the perfdmf/paraprof functionality, I would want to work around the
need to haul around the jarfiles for those tools before moving it to the
core.

Wyatt

  That package structure works for me.
  Are there just two projects though? The TAU plugins alone were several..
  How many (plugin) projects are there now and what would they be named?..

  Greetings,

  I have added extension points to the performance framework plugins to
  support advanced features provided by other tools, on top of the generic
  tool support provided by the tool definition file.  The TAU specific
  components are now a discrete set of plugins which make use of the
  extension points in the core framework.  There are still a few minor
  tweaks
  I would like to apply, but soon it will be ready to put up on CVS.  There
  has been some call for changing the package structure a bit.  I had in
  mind
  putting the performance framework core under tools in
  org.eclipse.ptp.perf
  and the TAU specific components in org.eclipse.ptp.perf.tau.  Please let
  me
  know if that seems appropriate.

  Thanks,
