HP Caliper User's Guide

The default is --scope process.
process
The subject of measurements is processes,
specifically the threads of execution that make
up those processes.
With --scope process, the default privilege
level is user, but you can change this with the
--event-defaults option.
system
The subject of measurements is user and kernel
activity on all CPUs in the system, at any
privilege level you choose. (You can specify the
privilege level as user, kernel, or all with the
--event-defaults option. The default value
is all.) Every processor set (pset) is measured.
The samples can be attributed to processes, or to
processes and modules, or not attributed. For
example:
• --scope system,attr-mod
Measure for system activity, and attribute
samples to processes and modules within
those processes whenever possible. Samples
will be attributed to functions within those
modules, and assembly and source listings
in the Function Details sections are available.
If you use the --scope system option,
--scope system,attr-mod is the
default.
The --scope system,attr-mod option
can also be specified as -w.
• --scope system,attr-proc
Measure for system activity, and attribute
samples to processes (but not to modules
within those processes) whenever possible.
No Function Details sections are available,
because attribution of samples is not done
on specific modules.
• --scope system,attr-none
Measure for system activity, but do no
attribution to individual processes running
on the system. The only sample attribution
