MPP-Apprentice

Abstract

The MPP Apprentice is a performance analysis tool that collects both compile-time and run-time information that helps the user find performance infefficiencies in his/her program. Apprentice is enabled at compile time and can be selectively applied to individual subroutines. A simple-to-use graphical interface gives the user numerical and bar-chart information on time spent in different routines, how that time was spent (calculations, I/O, waits, etc.) Useful observations are also given on how performance could be improved. MPP-Apprentice analyzes the performance timings of programs written in either C or Fortran and using either PVM or PVM on a Cray T3D or T3E.
