a) do you believe that a generalised libmetrics supporting both counters and rates would be useful, and potentially easier to achieve than building your own solution from the ground up? b) there is no hard rule to say that the current approach will remain consistent over major releases of Ganglia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
