Performance Analysis
using the Vampir Toolchain

Vampir is a performance analysis tool developed by the Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) at the Technische Universität Dresden, Germany. It can be used to diagnose performance problems of serial and parallel applications. The latest version supports MPI, OpenMP and PThread parallel applications. Vampir is available on the BigRed and Quarry HPC systems at IU and will be used in the FutureGrid project.

This workshop is organized jointly by ZIH and the High Performance Applications (HPA) group of Research Technologies.

The workshop will be held on April 21st, in the Innovation Center and the Wrubel Computing Center on the IU Bloomington campus. Please RSVP to Penny Studley <researchtechnologies [at] iu [dot] edu> to receive further information. Seating for the workshop is limited, and will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.
