The raso tunables

As the root user, you can tune the instruction threshold with the tprof_inst_threshold tunable of the raso command.

As the root user, you can tune the sampling frequency with the following raso tunables:
  • tprof_cyc_mult
  • tprof_evt_mult

For example, for events based on processor cycles, setting the tprof_cyc_mult tunable to 50 and specifying the -f flag as 100 is equivalent to specifying a sampling frequency of 100/50 milliseconds.

For other Performance Monitor events, setting the tprof_evt_mult tunable to 100 and specifying the -f flag as 20,000 is equivalent to specifying a sampling frequency of 20,000/100 occurrences.
