Creating high-performing applications

To help developers create high-performing applications for Windows NT Alpha, Compaq offers the NT-Atom Tool Development Framework (TDF). Using NT-Atom, developers can generate valuable data about executable programs – data that can be used for debugging and analyzing performance. Basic block counters, cache simulators, and profilers are examples of analysis tools that can be created using NT-Atom. |  |

The NT-Atom TDF allows developers to instrument executable programs by inserting instrumentation points at procedure, basic block, or instruction boundaries. At run time, the program executes normally while the instrumentation points invoke routines that generate debugging and analysis data.

A white paper in .pdf format entitled Moving Atom to Windows NT for Alpha is also available. The paper discusses the challenges of migrating Atom to Windows NT from Compaq's Tru64 UNIX and the features of Atom that facilitate developing, maintaining, and deploying custom analysis tools.
