New Whitepaper: HPC Profiling with Sun Studio Performance Tools

Abstract: In this paper, we describe how to use the Sun Studio Performance Tools to understand the nature and causes of application performance problems. We first explore CPU and memory performance problems for single-threaded applications, giving some simple examples. Then, we discuss multi-threaded performance issues, such as locking and false-sharing of cache lines, in each case showing how the tools can help. We go on to describe OpenMP applications and the support for them in the performance tools. Then we discuss MPI applications, and the techniques used to profile them. Finally, we present our conclusions. Download PDF
