My group has been wanting to do execution profiling of some I/O intensive applications on our SPARC stations, and the numbers that would really be of interest are the real-time seconds spent in each routine and its children, including time spent blocking for I/O to finish. The utilities "prof" and "gprof" generate the format of reports we would like, but they always base their numbers on virtual CPU time spent in each routine. Question: is there a way to get "gprof" to use real-time instead of virtual-time for its sampling, or is there another profiler available (at moderate cost) which would measure want we want?
