The Parallel Performance Wizard (PPW) is a performance analysis software tool specialized for UPC and SHMEM programs.
The tool can be used by running the program via the ppwrun command, with its associated options. Users can enable various profile and tracing features, such as communication and PAPI metric collection. These features allow users to better understand the performance of their programs and to identify any areas that may require optimization.
The trace buffer size can also be configured using the --trace-buffer option, and PPW can output detailed performance data to a specified file using the --output option. Furthermore, the tool also provides options to generate bash or csh commands for experiment setup and exit, as well as disabling all performance data collection.
Overall, the Parallel Performance Wizard is a useful tool for developers and programmers using UPC and SHMEM programming languages, allowing them to efficiently analyze and optimize their programs' performance.
