The
TAU_DB_DUMP_PREFIX
macro dumps all profile data to disk and records a checkpoint or a snapshot of the profile statistics at that instant. The dump files are named <prefix>.<node>.<context>.<thread>. If prefix is "profile", the files are named profile.0.0.0, etc. and may be read by paraprof/pprof tools as the application executes.
