CS 378: High-Performance Parallel Computing (Fall 1999)

Using Gnuplot

  • Create a file with data, organized into (complete) columns. See for example the file timings
  • Create a script in a file, say graph.gnu . I believe this script is pretty self-explanatory.
  • Execute gnuplot (this command isn't found on all machines. Try plucky.cs.utexas.edu).
  • Give the following command: load 'graph.gnu' This will create a postscript file "timings.ps" with the graph.
