TAU provides these scripts: tau_f90.sh, tau_cc.sh, and tau_cxx.sh to instrument and compile Fortran, C, and C++ programs respectively. You might use tau_cc.sh to compile a C program by typing:

%> module load tau
%> tau_cc.sh -tau_options=-optCompInst samplecprogram.c
    

On machines where a TAU module is not available you will need to set the tau makefile and/or options. The makefile and options controls how will TAU will compile you application. Use

%>tau_cc.sh -tau_makefile=[path to makefile] \
            -tau_options=[option] samplecprogram.c
    

The Makefile can be found in the /[arch]/lib directory of your TAU distribution, for example /x86_64/lib/Makefile.tau-mpi-pdt.

You can also use a Makefile specified in an environment variable. To run tau_cc.sh so it uses the Makefile specified by environment variable TAU_MAKEFILE, type:

%>export TAU_MAKEFILE=[path to tau]/[arch]/lib/[makefile]
%>export TAU_OPTIONS=-optCompInst
%>tau_cc.sh sampleCprogram.c
    

Similarly, if you want to set compile time options like selective instrumentation you can use the TAU_OPTIONS environment variable.

TAU provides these scripts: tau_f90.sh, tau_cc.sh, and tau_cxx.sh to instrument and compile Fortran, C, and C++ programs respectively. You might use tau_cc.sh to compile a C program by typing:

%> module load tau
%> tau_cc.sh samplecprogram.c
    

When setting the TAU_MAKEFILE make sure the Makefile name contains pdt because you will need a version of TAU built with PDT.

A list of options for the TAU compiler scripts can be found by typing man tau_compiler.sh or in this chapter of the reference guide.

These are some commonly used options available to the TAU compiler scripts. Either set them via the TAU_OPTIONS environment variable or the -tau_options= option to tau_f90.sh, tau_cc.sh, or tau_cxx.sh
