HP Caliper Advisor Rule Writer Guide
Next, run the Advisor on the collected performance data:
$ caliper advise
HP Caliper looks for the databases in the databases directory and produces an analysis
report on stdout. If the Advisor recommends an additional measurement run, make
the run. For example:
$ caliper dcache my_app
Then, re-run the Advisor to analyze the full set of performance data and produce a
more comprehensive analysis report:
$ caliper advise
If any suggested changes are made to the application, then you can measure and analyze
the revised program:
$ caliper cpu my_new_app
or:
$ caliper ecount my_new_app
followed by:
$ caliper fprof my_new_app
$ caliper dcache my_new_app
Then, run the Advisor on the composite performance data:
$ caliper advise
Explanation of Report Output
Figure 2-1 “HP Caliper Advisor Report, with Annotations” shows the report output

not part of the output you receive. See the list at the end of the report for the
explanations. The report is explained further in “How to Read an Advisor Report”
