Project Overview What is Open|SpeedShop ™ ? –Open Source Performance Tool Comprised of Based on SGI® Speedshop ™ software concepts for the IRIX® operating system Developed for Multi-Platform Support Implemented Using Open Source Components –DOE/NNSA co-funded via ASC (Advanced Simulation and Computing Program) PathForward –Partnering with Universities of Wisconsin & Maryland Schedule –Project Began: July, 2004 –Quarterly Milestone Releases –First Development Phase Ends: mid-2006
5
Design Goals Easy to Use –Don’t have to be a Computer Scientist or Computer Engineer What on earth is call stack sampling? Why would I use it? –GUI, Command Line, Batch Scheduled -- Your Choice! Portable –Platform Independent Use components that already support the platforms of interest Some recoding may be necessary if using unique features of a particular platform Scalable –Thousands of Processors ASC laboratory systems already use 8192 processors. Future systems even larger. SGI® Altix® system installed at a customer site has 10240 processors. –Hundreds of Shared Libraries Some SGI customers load 300+ shared libraries.
6
Design Goals (Continued) Extensible –Gathering New Types of Performance Data –New Views of Performance Data Supportable –Tested & Stable Testing done from the beginning. Not an afterthought! Test suites delivered with tool –Simple Installation Troubleshooting tools assist in installation and configuration. Reuse –Use Open Source Tools When Possible Don’t reinvent the wheel! –Keeping in Mind Licensing Requirements
7
Design Overview Foundation of Open Source Components –Core Components (shown here) –Build System (Autoconf, Automake, Libtool, Make & GCC) –Source Control (CVS) –Testing (Python) Layered Approach –Open Source OS-Dependent Layer –Non-Monolithic to Encourage Reuse –Higher Levels of Abstraction Going Up Extensible via Plugin Modules –Support New Data & Views –Vendor Differentiation
