A list of changes since the last open source release (which was version 2.2.1) is in /usr/doc/pcp-2.2.2/CHANGELOG after installation, or at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/latest.html The PCP homepage is at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp and you can join the PCP mailing list via http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/mail.html PCP is an extensible system monitoring package with a client/server architecture. It provides a distributed unifying abstraction for all interesting performance statistics in /proc and assorted applications (e.g. Apache). The PCP library APIs are robust and well documented, supporting rapid deployment of new and diverse sources of performance data and the development of sophisticated performance monitoring tools. There are binary RPMs for ia32 and ia64, the source RPM and tar.gz files. The source should also build and work for Linux-ppc, Linux-alpha and most other Linux platforms. SGI would like to thank those who contributed to this and earlier releases, especially Michal Kara, Laurent Demailly, Alan Baily, Alexander L. Belikoff, Brian Harvell, Eric Roman, Gilly , Troy Dawson, Thomas Graichen, Luc Stepniewski, Martin Knoblauch, Micah Altman, the SGI PCP engineering team, and others.
