Performance Technology for Complex Parallel and Distributed Systems

Keywords: The ability of performance technology to keep pace with the growing complexity of parallel and distributed systems will depend on robust performance frameworks that can at once provide system-specific performance capabilities and support high-level performance problem solving. The TAU system is offered as an example framework that meets these requirements. With a flexible, modular instrumentation and measurement system, and an open performance data and analysis environment, TAU can target a range of complex performance scenarios. Examples are given showing the diversity of TAU application. performance tools, complex systems, instrumentation, measurement, analysis 1
