EZTrace: A Generic Framework for Performance Analysis

EZTrace: A Generic Framework for Performance Analysis. Trahay, F., Rue, F., Faverge, M., Ishikawa, Y., Namyst, R., & Dongarra, J. In 2011 11th IEEE/ACM International Symposium on Cluster, Cloud and Grid Computing, pages 618–619, Newport Beach, CA, USA, May, 2011. IEEE.

Paper doi abstract bibtex

Modern supercomputers with multi-core nodes enhanced by accelerators, as well as hybrid programming models introduce more complexity in modern applications. Exploiting efﬁciently all the resources requires a complex analysis of the performance of applications in order to detect time-consuming sections. We present EZTRACE, a generic trace generation framework that aims at providing a simple way to analyze applications. EZTRACE is based on plugins that allow it to trace different programming models such as MPI, pthread or OpenMP as well as user-deﬁned libraries or applications. EZTRACE uses two steps: one to collect the basic information during execution and one post-mortem analysis. This permits tracing the execution of applications with low overhead while allowing to reﬁne the analysis after the execution. We also present a script language for EZTRACE that gives the user the opportunity to easily deﬁne the functions to instrument without modifying the source code of the application.
