 Overview
 --------
-These script will be used to collect profile info of lustre client and server.
-It will be run on a single(control) node, and collect all the profile info and 
-create a tarball on the control node. 
+These scripts will be used to collect application profiling info from
+lustre clients and servers.  It will be run on a single (control)
+node, and collect all the profile info and create a tarball on the
+control node.
 
-lstat.sh : The stat script for single node, which will be run on each profile 
-	   node.
+lstat.sh  : script for single node, will be run on each profile node.
 gather_stats_everywhere.sh : collect stats script.
-config.sh : the config for gather_stats_everywhere.sh.
+config.sh : customized configuration description
 
 Requirements
 -------
-1) Lustre is installed and setup on your profiling cluster.
-2) ssh/scp to these node names works without requiring a password.
+1) Lustre is installed and setup on your cluster.
+2) ssh/scp to these nodes works without requiring a password.
 
 Configuration
 ------
-Configuration is very simple for this script, all of the profiling config VARs are
-in config.sh
+Configuration is very simple for this script - all of the profiling
+config VARs are in config.sh
 
 XXXX_INTERVAL: the profiling interval
 where value of interval means:
    0 - gather stats at start and stop only
    N - gather stats every N seconds
-if some XXX_INTERVAL isn't specified, related stats won't be collected
-XXXX can be: VMSTAT, SERVICE, BRW, SDIO, MBALLOC, IO, JBD, CLIENT 
+if XXX_INTERVAL isn't specified, XXX stats won't be collected
+XXX can be: VMSTAT, SERVICE, BRW, SDIO, MBALLOC, IO, JBD, CLIENT 
 
-As for ior-collect-stat.sh, you can modify the various IOR and MPI 
-parameters inside ior-collect-stat.sh 
 
 Running
 --------
-1) The gather_stats_everywhere.sh will be run in three mode
+The gather_stats_everywhere.sh should be run in three phases:
    
    a)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh start 
-     It will start collect stats on each node provided in config.sh
+     It will start stats collection on each node specified in config.sh
    
-   b)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh stop <log_name>
-     It will stop collect stats on each node. If <log_name> is provided,
-     it will create a profile tarball /tmp/<log_name>.tar.gz.
+   b)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh stop <log_name.tgz>
+     It will stop collect stats on each node. If <log_name.tgz> is provided,
+     it will create a profile tarball /tmp/<log_name.tgz>
    
-   c)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh analyse log_tarball.tar.gz csv
+   c)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh analyse log_tarball.tgz csv
      It will analyse the log_tarball and create a csv tarball for this
      profiling tarball. 
 
-2) The ior-collect-stat.sh will be run as
-        sh ior-collect-stat.sh start <profile> 
-   It will create a ior result csv file. If <profile> is provided, 
-   the detail profile info tarball will be created under /tmp.
 
 Example
 -------
 When you want collect your profile info, you should
-   1)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh start 
-	 #start the collect profile daemon on each node.
+   1) start the collect profile daemon on each node.
+	sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh start 
 
-   2)run your test.
+   2) run your test.
 
-   3)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh stop log_tarball
-     #stop the collect profile daemon on each node, cleanup
-      the tmp file and create a profiling tarball.
+   3) stop the collect profile daemon on each node, cleanup the tmp
+      file and create a profiling tarball.
+	sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh stop log_tarball.tgz
 
-   4)sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh analyse log_tarball.tar.gz csv
-     #create a csv file according to the profile.
+   4) create a csv file according to the profile.
+	sh gather_stats_everywhere.sh config.sh analyse log_tarball.tgz csv
+
