Abstract
The performance of HPF codes is influenced by the characteristics of the parallel system and by the efficiency of the compilation system. Performance analysis has to take into account all these aspects. We present the integration of a compilation system with a performance analysis tool aimed at the evaluation of HPF+ codes. The analysis is carried out at the source level. The “costs” of the parallelization strategies applied by the compiler are also captured such that a comprehensive view of the performance is provided.
This work was supported in part by the European Commission under the Esprit IV Long Term Research Project n. 21033 “HPF+”.
