Abstract

Designing a parallel program to fully utilise the processing power of a multiprocessor machine requires a series of performance analysis and tuning. This paper describes a performance tuning tool for message-passing parallel programs. The tool combines the advantages of relational databases and spreadsheets to organise the performance data and analyse the program performance through visualisation. Various graphical displays which assist the user to fine-tune the performance of message passing programs are discussed.
