 Peridot Performance Workshop February 12th, 2003

Summary:

Peridot is a four year project funded by KONWIHR. Its goal is to develop automatic performance analysis tools for teraflop computers. The tools will be a system monitor being able to automatically identify critical applications and an automatic analysis tool that identifies performance problems in individual applications. 

The tools will be designed for applications being programmed in the hybrid programming model combining message-passing and shared-memory programming. The supported programming interfaces will be MPI with OpenMP as well as MPI with COMPASS, the proprietary shared-memory programming interface of Hitachi.

While the primary target system is the Hitachi SR8000-F1 installed at Leibniz-Rechenzentrum in Munich, the tools will be applicable to other clustered SMP-systems. as well.
