Reference projects
The Vampir software has been tried and tested in the high-performance computing community for many years and is a widely used tool for analyzing the performance of highly parallel programs. A growing number of performance monitoring environments can generate trace files that can be read and displayed by Vampir. [The tool provides a user-friendly framework for fast display and analysis of program behavior at very high levels of detail. The optimized algorithms and customizable displays enable interactive visualization of complex performance data and thus form the basis for well-founded program optimization of parallel programs.
