The SET VPC_SAMPLING Collector command enables the collection of
PC values for random vector instructions and causes the sampling
rate to be applied to the wall clock. The collected data lets you
determine the scalar/vector parallelism throughout your entire
program.
When you collect vector PC samples, the sampling interval timer
includes all idle time associated with the current run of the
program. This form of sampling shows you where the time is being
spent in the program with little cost to the time of actually
running the program. time. You can set the time interval by using
the /INTERVAL qualifier.
