Abstract :
The performance analysis tools developed for M31, Digital Equipment Corporation´s experimental multiprocessor, are described. The tools allow a user to instrument an application, monitor its execution, and analyze the collected event traces. The analysis and presentation tools give a view of the application´s dynamic call tree as well as the flow of control within and between cooperating processes. The trajectory of a scientific application is described through the performance debugging process
