BIDM.Asset.Abstract Paradyn is a tool for measuring the performance of large-scale parallel programs. The goal is to provide detailed, flexible performance information without incurring the space and time overhead typically associated with trace-based tools. Paradyn achieves this goal by dynamically instrumenting the application and automatically controlling the instrumentation in search of performance problems. Paradyn also provides decision support for the user by helping to decide when and where to insert and explaining performance bottlenecks using descriptions and visualizations. Paradyn maps performance data to multiple layers of abstraction, and the user can choose to look at it in terms of high-level language constructs or low-level machine structures. META
