Re: [bgl-discuss] Using TAU

[Alan Gray <alang@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

There is some info on how to use TAU on EPCC's Blue Gene at
http://www.epcc.ed.ac.uk/~bgapps/UserGuide/BGuser/
(see Tools/TAU section)

Obviously, paths etc will be different for ANL but this still may be of 
use to get you started.

Cheers,

Alan
