+Performance Co-Pilot (PCP) provides a framework and services to support
+system-level performance monitoring and management. It presents a unifying
+abstraction for all of the performance data in a system, and many tools
+for interrogating, retrieving and processing that data.
+
+PCP is a feature-rich, mature, extensible, cross-platform toolkit
+supporting both live and retrospective analysis. The distributed PCP
+architecture makes it especially useful for those seeking centralized
+monitoring of distributed processing.
+
+See the INSTALL file for build, installation and configuration steps.
