The basic steps

Quantify collects a complete, accurate set of performance data for your program and its components, including threads, and helps you find exactly where your program spends most of its time. To profile a program's performance:

1. Instrument and run a program with Quantify to collect performance data.

2. Analyze the performance data.

3. Run the program again and compare runs to find performance changes.

Notes:

• You can use Quantify in automated testing.

• For a sample tutorial-style session with Quantify, click

• If Quantify was installed on your system as a component of Rational PurifyPlus, you must license PurifyPlus in order to use Quantify:
  
  To do this, source or run the file <installtion_dir>/purifyplus_setup.csh or <installation_dir>/purifyplus_setup.sh, depending on the shell you are using. For example:
  
  % source /opt/rational/purifyplus_setup.csh
  
  or
  
  $. /opt/rational/purifyplus_setup.sh
  
  You can include the appropriate commands in your shell start-up script.
