Paradyn Parallel Performance Tool
- 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.
- Cost
- For research uses, there is no charge.

- Paradyn Parallel Performance Tool
- TargetEnvironment
- Paradyn can measure programs running on Solaris (SPARC
and x86), AIX/RS6000 and SP2, and WindowsNT/x86, and
heterogeneous combinations of these systems. Paradyn
can also handle PVM on these Unix platforms and MPL,
MPI, and PVM under POE on the SP2.
