Usage (.cuf) files are used to store
compiler usage information. This section provides information that
helps you decide how you want to generate and use these files.
Usage file location
Usage files can be created in each user's home directory,
or they can be created in a central location for all users.
The number of usage files
You can use one usage file or separate usage files for
different compiler users.
Usage files on multiple machines
If you use the compiler on multiple machines, you need
to decide how to make the usage files available for the utilization
reporting tool.
Usage file size
You need to consider the fact that the size of the usage
files might grow quickly, especially when you use a shared file for
all compiler users. If the usage file gets too large, it might affect
utilization tracking performance.
