We are trying to get a copy of it from Alliant (the DSP9000 supplier). Such a tool is *really* useful on vector arithmetic machines, as it is the only way to find out what subroutines need to be modified to increase the program's throughput. This applies to page-fault generation as well as CPU time usage. Apollo, are you listening? -- David Krowitz Bitnet: KROWITZ@MITLNS Arpanet: KROWITZ@MITLNS.MIT.EDU or DAVID@MIT-MC.ARPA or KROWITZ%MITLNS@MIT-MULTICS.ARPA ------
