Techniques and Tools for Performance Tuning of Parallel and Distributed Scientific ApplicationsPerformance degradation in scientific computing on parallel and distributed computer systems can be caused by numerous factors. In this half-day tutorial we explain what are the important methodological issues involved in obtaining codes that have good performance potential. Then we discuss what are the possible obstacles in realizing that potential on contemporary hardware platforms, and give an overview of the software tools currently available for identifying the performance bottlenecks. Finally, some realistic examples are used to illustrate the actual use and utility of such tools.
