Summary:

Paradyn is a tool for measuring and analyzing the performance of parallel
and distributed programs.

Paradyn can measure large, long running programs and provides facilities for
helping to automatically find performance problems in parallel programs.

Paradyn operates on executable (a.out or .exe) files by dynamically inserting
measurement code while the program is running.

Paradyn can measure programs running on SunOS, Solaris (SPARC and x86), AIX,
and SP2, and HP-UX, or heterogeneous combinations of these systems.

Paradyn can also handle PVM on these platforms and MPL, MPI, and PVM under
POE on the SP2.

and manuals on the Paradyn Tools.
