This tutorial presents state-of-the-art performance tools for leading-edge HPC systems, focusing on how the tools are used for performance engineering of petascale, scientific applications. Five parallel performance evaluation toolsets are discussed – PAPI, PerfSuite, TAU, Scalasca, and Vampir. We cover all aspects of performance engineering practice, including instrumentation, measurement (profiling and tracing, timing and hardware counters), performance data storage, analysis, and visualization. Emphasis is placed on how performance tools are used in combination for identifying performance problems and investigating optimization alternatives. The tutorial will include hands-on exercises using a Live-DVD containing all of the tools, helping to prepare participants to apply modern methods for locating and diagnosing typical performance bottlenecks in real-world parallel programs at scale.
