Abstract

Profiling is critical on massively parallel architectures because the combination of a novel architecture and parallel high-level languages changes the rules of optimal program design. The MasPar profiler provides routine and statement level profiling, interactive browsing, and typeset hardcopy integrated into an existing graphical debugger. This integration allows entire programs or program fragments to be profiled without having to recompile.
