Performance monitoring and analysis are critical to deciphering the often complex behavior of parallel applications. They help identify regions of code that are most frequently executed, thus allowing fine-tuning of application behavior for optimal runtime speed and resource usage. Elimination of various inefficiencies either introduced by the programmer or arising due to less than perfect mapping to a specific execution environment is vital to achieving acceptable application execution rates on a supercomputer and increasing the users' productivity. This chapter presents an overview of different methods and tools helpful in assessing application performance, capturing the events of interest followed by ...
