NAME
       Jumpshots -  Graphical Visualization Tools for Parallel Programs

DESCRIPTION
       Jumpshots are graphical tools for understanding the performance of par‐
       allel programs.	They are evolved from upshot and are written in	 Java.
       There are 2 versions of Jumpshots, Jumpshot-2 and Jumpshot-3 , distrib‐
       uted with MPE.  Jumpshot-2 interprets CLOG  tracefiles  and  Jumpshot-3
       interprets  SLOG	 tracefiles  which is capable of handle big tracefiles
       (in GB range).

CONFIGURING & BUILDING JUMPSHOTS
       Since Jumpshots are distributed with MPE, the top level	MPE  configure
       will  configure	both version of Jumpshots by default.  Through the use
       of configure option --with-java=<JDK> in MPE configure, user can supply
       a  user	installed  java	 installation  to MPE to build both version of
       Jumpshots.  Even though Jumpshot-3 can be built by both JDK 1.1 and JDK
       1.2,  Jumpshot-2 can only be built with JDK 1.1.	 Because of this limi‐
       tation, user is advised to use JDK 1.1 when building Jumpshots for MPE.
       However	user  can  build Jumpshot-2 and Jumpshot-3 separately from MPE
       with different versions of JDK.	If user chooses to do that, be sure to
       install	them back to the final install directory share/, otherwise the
       logviewer script won't work properly.  A list of configure  options  is
       available  by typing ./configure --help in the top-level jumpshot-2 and
       jumpshot-3 directories.

       For detailed information on building Jumpshot-2 , refer to  the	README
       in the top-level jumpshot-2 source directory at mpe/viewers/jumpshot-2.

       For  details  information  on building Jumpshot-3 , refer to the README
       and UserGuide.txt in the top-level jumpshot-3  directory	 at  mpe/view‐
       ers/jumpshot-3.

USAGE
       Both  versions  of  Jumpshots are installed in the final install direc‐
       tory, share/.  End-users are not expected to call  jumpshots  directly,
       instead	there  is  a  display program selector script called logviewer
       located in bin/.	 This script will select the appropriate viewer	 based
       on  the logfile's file extension, ie. log file format.  For more infor‐
       mation about logviewer, do "logviewer -help".

       For more details on the button definitions in Jumpshot-2	 ,  click  the
       help  button  on Jumpshot-2's main window to bring up the ASCII version
       of button definitions.

       For Jumpshot-3 , besides the ASCII version of button definitions avail‐
       able  by clicking in the main window's help -> Manual buttons, there is
       also a HTML viewer which displays a step-by-step tour of Jumpshot-3  of
       how  and what user can learn from a typical logfile.  The HTML tour can
       be invoked by clicking the main window's help  ->  Tour	buttons.   New
       users of Jumpshots are advised to read the Tour document.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
       Jumpshot-3  is  written	based on Jumpshot-2 but contains many enhanced
       new features not found in Jumpshot-2, and  also	contains  a  lot  more
       graphic	bugs  fixed.   So users are advised to use Jumpshot-3 whenever
       possible.
