Abstract

In this paper we present the Hardware Performance Monitor (HPM) Toolkit, a language independent performance analysis and visualization system developed for performance measurements of applications running on the IBM Power 3 with AIX and on Intel clusters with Linux. The HPM Toolkit supports analysis of applications written in Fortran, C, and C++. It was designed to collect hardware events with low overhead and minimum measurement error, and to display a rich set of metrics, including hints to help users in optimizing applications, without requiring modifications in the software infrastructure.
