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.

TargetEnvironment

MPT 1.1 for IRIX is available today for all Silicon Graphics computer systems running IRIX 6.2 or 6.4, including Origin2000, CRAY Origin2000, CHALLENGE®, POWER CHALLENGE, Onyx®, and Onyx2 systems. MPT 1.1 for IRIX uses Array 3.0 to deliver optimal performance, whether for an array of workstations or servers, or within a single large server. MPT 1.1 for UNICOS is available today for the CRAY J90, CRAY T90, and CRAY T3E (including the CRAY T3E-900) computer systems running UNICOS and UNICOS/mk. (For CRAY T3E systems, the SHMEM library is delivered as part of the CF90 and C++ Programming Environments.)
