[CSC 435] GnuPlot

[Andrew J. Pounds]

If you are using cobra or zeus remotely you will have had to log into 
the systems with X forwarding enabled (i.e. - ssh -X cobra) to see you 
graphs on the screen.

To start gnuplot on the lab machines, on cobra, or on zeus type the word 
gnuplot on the command line.

To test if things are working properly type the following at the 
gnuplot> prompt

gnuplot> plot sin(x)

If you get a graph with the sin() function then things are working properly.

Now on the class web page in the EXAMPLES section I have placed an 
example gnuplot file of how to make an Amdahl's law plot for up to 35 
processors.  You need to download this file to your local directory and 
modify it for your purposes.   Let's say that you have nemed this file 
"myplot", to run it in gnuplot you would do the following

gnuplot> call "myplot"

For the details of how gnuplot functions please refer to the official 
web page
