Open|SpeedShop is an open source multi platform Linux performance tool which is targeted to support performance analysis of applications running on both single node and large scale IA64, IA32, EM64T, AMD64, IBM Power PC, Cray, and Blue Gene platforms. It supports comprehensive performance analysis for sequential, multi-threaded, and MPI applications with no need to recompile the user’s application. There are four user interface options: batch, command line interface (CLI), graphical user interface (GUI), and a Python scripting API. Open|SpeedShop is explicitly designed with usability in mind and is for application developers and computer scientists. The base functionality include:
This tutorial will be a hands on, bring your own code sessions. There will be short lectures and demonstrations of Open|SpeedShop along with time allocated for trying Open|SpeedShop on the tutorial participants own code.
BUFFET LUNCHES and COFFEE BREAKs are provided
Jim Galarowicz has been involved with high performance computer (HPC) systems software development at Sperry Univac (compiler development), Cray Research, Inc. (compiler development and performance tool development), Silicon Graphics (debugger and performance tool development), and more recently at The Krell Institute. Currently, he is leading the Open|SpeedShop performance tools project and is primarily responsible for managing the project, design and development of portions of the Open|SpeedShop performance tool, writing project documentation and interfacing with project stakeholders. Prior to the current assignment, he managed the Silicon Graphics software development tools group between 1999 and 2006.
