TAU v2.13.7 installed


Hi,
	We've installed TAU v2.13.7 on Cu and tungsten in
/usr/apps/tools/tau/ [tau_latest -> tau-2.13.7]
This release has the following new features:
1) Support for hierarchical merging of trace files
2) Support for VTF3 Trace Library (packaged for download separately) from
TU Dresden. Now, TAU can generate traces with PAPI hardware performance
counters (and other application user events) and convert these to binary
traces in VTF3 format with the tau2vtf tool. VTF3 format can be viewed
using Vampir trace visualizer (now, Intel Trace Analyzer).
3) Robust support for MySQL and PostgreSQL production release databases in
PerfDMF (Performance Data Management Framework). Paraprof can interface
with the performance database.
4) Improvements in Paraprof profile browser for supporting callpath
profiles.
5) TAU_COMPILER (beta). A new way to instrument applications using a shell
script that invokes the PDT parser, tau_instrumentor and the native compiler.
6) Automatic merging/conversion of tau tracefile using TAU_TRACEFILE
environment variable using tau2vtf. Other optional variables that you may
define are TAU_KEEP_TRACEFILES (for not removing intermediate files), and
TRACEDIR (to specify where traces should be stored).
	Thanks,
	- Sameer
