THIS SECTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION, PLEASE RETURN LATER

Both TAU (Tuning and Analysis Utilities) and its Linux kernel counterpart, KTAU have been ported to ZeptoOS. In addition the build system of the ZeptoOS kernel has been modified to simplify the integration of KTAU patches. The following sections describe how to acquire, configure, build and use TAU and KTAU under ZeptoOS, with Surveyor at ANL as the test platform. The KTAU section appears first as the TAU section has some dependencies on that information.

KTAU

Acquiring KTAU

You can download a gzipped tarball of KTAU (version: 1.7.15-bgpzepto) from http://www.cs.uoregon.edu/research/ktau/downloads.php .

Configuring under ZeptoOS

For the below examples showing the configuration and build steps, it is assumed that the KTAU tarball has been expanded into the location /home/anataraj/ktau-1.7.15-bgpzepto and that the ZeptoOS tarball has been expanded into /home/anataraj/BGP.

bgp-cn-linux-del-ktau         : Remove KTAU patch and links from CN kernel

NOTE:
- The following targets copy prebuilt or newly built kernel image to the top dir
  bgp-ion-linux, bgp-ion-linux-build, bgp-cn-linux, bgp-cn-linux-build and bgp-cn-linux-ramdisk

- 'make GIT=1 ...' clone repo from public git repo via http and use them as target source tree
- By default, kernel tarballs are extracted and use them as target source tree

NOTE: Integration of KTAU into ZeptoOS is complete. Next, please configure KTAU kernel options using "make bgp-cn-linux-menuconfig". After that, please follow the standard ZeptoOS build steps (e.g. "make bgp-cn-linux-build").
