Note: The utilization reporting tool can be installed on the same machine as the compiler or on a different machine. You must use rpm utilities to install this package. It typically needs to be installed only once, no matter how many compiler installations you have. This tool is useful for those who are responsible for monitoring the overall compiler usage within an organization. Individual developers and build teams should not need to use this tool.

To install the utilization reporting tool, see the instructions provided in README.urt in the root directory of the installation image.
