Performance Monitoring (1)

• A script can turn on performance monitoring with setfield /post perfmon 1 and turns it off with setfield /post perfmon 0
• Whenever performance monitoring is active, the categories listed below accumulate time.
• To ignore the time involved in construction of a model, do not activate performance monitoring until just prior to the first simulation step.
• The accumulated time values can be dumped to a file with the command perfstats This writes a file to /tmp (usually a local disk) called pgenesis.ppp.nnn.acct where ppp is the process id and nnn is the node number. Each time perfstats is called it dumps the accumulated values, but it does not reset them.
