OBJECTIVES:

The objective of this seminar is to carry out a hands on training on the use of the Paraver and Dimemas tools to analyze the performance of parallel applications.

AGENDA:

The seminar will take 6 half-day sessions from September 6th to September 9th 2010 with the following agenda:

Monday afternoon: Presentation on the tools and the type of analyses they enable as well as hands on session familiarizing with the navigation on the paraver GUI using traces from a couple of PRACE benchmark codes provided.

Tuesday afternoon: Use of clustering techiques (clustering) and further analyses.
Wednesday morning: Focus on scalability issues (large problem/machines sizes): How to filter and manipulate large traces; how to obtain traces with summarized data and analyses they support.
Wednesday afternoon: Hands on Dimemas analyses and predictions.
Thursday morning: Use of the combined sampling and tracing capabilities for extremely detailed analysis.
