If option --pipe-to is used, standard output is first piped through that command. Beware, if the command fails (e.g. grep with no matches), it will be considered a fatal error. Final standard output is redirected to files named out.txt in separate subdirectories under the output directory. Similarly, standard error is written to files named err.txt. In addition, files named cmd.txt contain the corresponding perf script command. After processing, err.txt files are removed if they are empty. If any job exits with a non-zero exit code, then all jobs are killed and no more are started. A message is printed if any job results in a non-empty err.txt file. There is a separate output subdirectory for each time range. If the --per-cpu option is used, these are further grouped under cpu-n subdirectories, e.g. $ parallel-perf.py --per-cpu --nr=2 -- perf script --ns --cpu=0,1 All jobs finished successfully $ tree parallel-perf-output parallel-perf-output/ ├── cpu-0 │   ├── time-range-0 │   │   ├── cmd.txt │   │   └── out.txt │   └── time-range-1 │   ├── cmd.txt │   └── out.txt └── cpu-1 ├── time-range-0 │   ├── cmd.txt │   └── out.txt └── time-range-1 ├── cmd.txt └── out.txt $ find parallel-perf-output -name cmd.txt | sort | xargs grep -H . parallel-perf-output/cpu-0/time-range-0/cmd.txt:perf script --cpu=0 --time=,9469.005396999 --ns parallel-perf-output/cpu-0/time-range-1/cmd.txt:perf script --cpu=0 --time=9469.005397000, --ns parallel-perf-output/cpu-1/time-range-0/cmd.txt:perf script --cpu=1 --time=,9469.005396999 --ns parallel-perf-output/cpu-1/time-range-1/cmd.txt:perf script --cpu=1 --time=9469.005397000, --ns Subdivisions of time range, and cpus if the --per-cpu option is used, are expressed by the --time and --cpu perf script options respectively. If the supplied perf script command has a --time option, then that time range is subdivided, otherwise the time range given by 'time of first sample' to 'time of last sample' is used (refer perf script --header-only). Similarly, the supplied perf script command may provide a --cpu option, and only those CPUs will be processed. To prevent time intervals becoming too small, the --min-interval option can be used. Note there is special handling for processing Intel PT traces. If an interval is not specified and the perf record command contained the intel_pt event, then the time range will be subdivided in order to produce subdivisions that contain approximately the same amount of trace data. That is accomplished by counting double-quick (--itrace=qqi) samples, and choosing time ranges that encompass approximately the same number of samples. In that case, time ranges may not be the same for each CPU processed. For Intel PT, --per-cpu is the default, but that can be overridden by --no-per-cpu. Note, for Intel PT, double-quick decoding produces 1 sample for each PSB synchronization packet, which in turn come after a certain number of bytes output, determined by psb_period (refer perf Intel PT documentation). The minimum number of double-quick samples that will define a time range can be set by the --min_size option, which defaults to 64.
