Description

Annotation

The EU funded Performance Optimization and Productivity Centre of Excellence (POP) offers services in the area of performance analysis and performance optimization. Therefore, POP mainly uses performance analysis tools developed by POP partners, namely Extrae, Paraver, Dimemas, Score-P, Cube and Scalasca. These tools are used to generate uniform performance audits for parallel applications to provide a good overview of the applications execution.

The aim of this tutorial, especially during its first day, is to introduce participants to the performance analysis tools and the methodologies used to create POP performance audits. The second day will be devoted to large hands-on sessions where application developers, who bring their own code, will be doing a performance analysis with guidance of POP performance experts.

The tutorial is in some sense a follow-up event after the course Practical Parallel Performance Analysis on Salomon held at IT4Innovations on October 20-21, 2016.

During the tutorial, full board will be provided. The participants are also invited to a social and networking event in the evening of the first day (c.f. the Practicalities section below).
