Abstract

This document describes the use of the Partial-Order Event Tracer (POET) with ¯C++. POET is a general tool for collecting and displaying event data from concurrent and distributed applications, and is used to understand the behaviour of these programs in order to improve performance or detect errors. This document does not attempt to describe all the features of POET; only a subset is presented for use with small to medium size ¯C++ programs. The manual "Partial-Order Event Tracer---User Documentation" describes all the features of POET in a manner independent of a particular application/programming environment. This document assumes a basic understanding of ¯C++; see "¯C++ Annotated Reference Manual"[BS96] for details. 2 Before Starting POET
