HP Caliper User Guide Release 5.5 (5900-2351, August 2012)

This option has these parameters:
percent_cutoff The percentage of the total for the blocked samples that a given
primitive must exceed to appear in a report. This is shown as percent
cutoff on reports.
Default value is 1.0.
cum_percent_cutoff The value of the cumulative percentage at which HP Caliper stops
reporting results. This is shown as cumulative percent cutoff on reports.
Default value is 100.
min_count Sets the minimum number of primitives to be displayed.
Default value is 10.
This cutoff also controls the number of holder and waiter thread entries reported for thread
synchronization primitives (HP-UX only).
For more information, see Chapter 11 (page 133)
--process
See “-p or --process” (p. 51).
--process-cutoff
--process-cutoff percent_cutoff[,cum_percent_cutoff[,min_count]]
Specifies a cutoff value that limits the processes reported in the Process Summary section of a PMU
histogram report. This option is used in conjunction with the --sort-by metric option, which
you can use to specify which metric you want to be used for sorting and cutoffs.
HP Caliper stops reporting information when it reaches either a percent cutoff or a cumulative
percent cutoff:
• You can limit the report only to processes that exceed a specified percentage of the total for
the sorting/cutoff metric. Once HP Caliper encounters this percent cutoff, it stops reporting
processes.
• You can limit the report by having HP Caliper stop reporting processes once the cumulative
percent of the processes so far listed exceeds the cumulative percent cutoff value.
You can also specify an integer for the minimum number of processes to be displayed.
percent_cutoff The percentage of the total for the sorting/cutoff metric that a given
process must exceed to appear on the report. This is shown as percent
cutoff on reports.
Default value is 2.0.
This value takes effect only if the Percent of Total column is selected
for the report.
cum_percent_cutoff The value of the cumulative percentage at which HP Caliper stops
reporting results. This is shown as cumulative percent cutoff on reports.
Default value is 100.
This value takes effect only if the Cumulative percent column is
selected for the report.
min_count Sets the minimum number of processes to be displayed. This is shown
as minimum process entries on reports.
Default value is 5.
If --group-by executable is specified (which is the default), then all processes with the same
basename will have a single entry in the Process Summary.
