Existing parameter study tools provide support to specify value ranges for application parameters of interest, e.g. by means of external scripting languages [5], or through graphical annotation of input files [197]. All these approaches, however, force the user to export the application parameters to global input files or program arguments, which often requires undesired source code adaptation for using the tool. Additionally, there are no tools that combine the experiment specification and management with cross-experiment performance analysis. All currently existing performance tools are restricted to single experiment analysis, which is not enough for efficient application performance tuning, that is inherently a multi-experimental process.
