NAME
     pixstats - analyze program execution

SYNOPSIS
     pixstats program [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
     Pixstats analyzes a program's execution characteristics.  To
     use pixstats, first use Pixie(1) to translate and instrument
     the executable object module for the program.  Next, execute
     the  translation  on  an appropriate input.  This produces a
     .Counts file.  Finally, use pixstats to generate a  detailed
     report  on  opcode  frequencies, interlocks, a mini-profile,
     and more.

     -cycle ns
          Assume a ns cycle time when converting cycle counts  to
          seconds.

     -disassemble
          Disassemble and show the analyzed object code.

BUGS
     Pixstats models execution assuming a perfect memory  system.
     Cache misses etc. will increase execution above the pixstats
     predictions.
