Viewing Generic Data with xclus or xperf

By default, the xclus and xperf utilities display enhanced data. You can force xclus and
xperf

to display generic data by specifying the -generic option. For example, the following

command starts xclus so it displays generic data:

% xclus -generic

Starting xclus with the -generic option causes it to display the same data that xcxclus
displays. The difference is that the you do not need a job allocation, and you do not need superuser
capabilities to specify the -unrestricted-nodes option, which enables you to monitor nodes
outside your job allocation.

Starting xperf with the -generic option causes it to display the same data that xcxperf
displays. The difference is that if you specify the -node option to run xperf on a remote node,
the remote node does not need to be within your job allocation.

You can specify both the -generic and the -enhanced option when you run xperf. The
xperf

utility displays both generic and enhanced data. You can also specify both options when

you run xclus. The xclus utility displays only generic data, but if you click on a node icon,
xperf

starts and displays both generic and enhanced data.
