SGI is pleased to announce the new version of Performance Co-Pilot (PCP)
open source (version 2.2.0-18) is now available for download from
http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/download
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.
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
This release (2.2.0-18) adds five new PCP agents and associated runtime
libraries, many new metrics, numerous important build and bug fixes
(particularly for IA64) and a large number of small changes as we merged
and reconciled the IRIX and open source trees.
SGI would like to thank those who contributed to this release, especially
Michal Kara, Laurent Demailly, Alan Baily, Alexander L. Belikoff, the SGI
PCP engineering team, and others.
A list of changes since the last open source release (which was version
2.1.10, released 20-Oct-2000) is in /usr/doc/pcp-2.2.0/CHANGELOG after
installation, or at http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/latest.html
Thanks and enjoy!
