”TAU (a parallel profiler with in-built visualization) will be available after Easter 2013”
Overview
TAU (Tuning and Analysis Utilities) is a profiling and tracing toolkit for performance analysis of parallel programs written in Fortran, C, C++, Java, Python. It is capable of gathering performance information through instrumentation of functions, methods, basic blocks, and statements. The instrumentation can be inserted in the source code using an automatic instrumentor tool based on the Program Database Toolkit (PDT). TAU’s profile visualization tool, paraprof, provides graphical displays of all the performance analysis results, in aggregate and single node/context/thread forms.
