ParaProf: A Portable, Extensible, and Scalable Tool for Parallel Performance Profile Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the design, implementation, and application of ParaProf, a portable, extensible, and scalable tool for parallel performance profile analysis. ParaProf attempts to offer “best of breed” capabilities to performance analysts – those inherited from a rich history of single processor profilers and those being pioneered in parallel tools research. We present ParaProf as a parallel profile analysis framework that can be retargeted and extended as required. ParaProf’s design and operation is discussed, and its novel support for large-scale parallel analysis demonstrated with a 512-processor application profile generated using the TAU performance system.

Design and Implementation of Parallel Debugger and Profiler for MPJ Express
MPJ Express is a messaging system that allows computational scientists to write and execute parallel Java applications on High Performance Computing (HPC) hardware. Despite its successful adoption in the Java HPC community, the MPJ Express software currently does not provide any support for debugging and profiling parallel applications and hence forces its users to rely on manual and tedious de...

متن کاملTAUg: Runtime Global Performance Data Access Using MPI
To enable a scalable parallel application to view its global performance state, we designed and developed TAUg, a portable runtime framework layered on the TAU parallel performance system. TAUg leverages the MPI library to communicate between application processes, creating an abstraction of a global performance space from which profile views can be retrieved. We describe the TAUg design and im...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of pC++: A Portable Data-Parallel Programming System for Scalable Parallel Computers
pC++ is a language extension to C++ designed to allow programmers to compose distributed data structures with parallel execution semantics. These data structures are organized as \concurrent aggregate" collection classes which can be aligned and distributed over the memory hierarchy of a parallel machine in a manner consistent with the High Performance Fortran Forum (HPF) directives for Fortran...
