Performance Instrumentation and Measurement for Terascale Systems

As computer systems grow in size and complexity, tool support is needed to facilitate the efficient mapping of large-scale applications onto these systems. To help achieve this mapping, performance analysis tools must provide robust performance observation capabilities at all levels of the system, as well as map low-level behavior to high-level program constructs. Instrumentation and measurement strategies, developed over the last several years, must evolve together with performance analysis infrastructure to address the challenges of new scalable parallel systems.
