Performance Analysis of Data Parallel Programs

Effective strategies for performance analysis and tuning will be essential for the success of data parallellanguages such as High-Performance Fortran (HPF) and Fortran D. Since compilers for these languagesinsert all communication, they have considerable knowledge about a program's dynamic structure andthe relationship between its parallelism and communication. This paper explores how this compilerknowledge can be exploited to support performance evaluation and tuning. First, the compiler...
