PerfSuite: An Accessible, Open Source Performance Analysis Environment for Linux
Rick Kufrin · 2005
The motivation, design, implementation, and current status of a new set of software tools called PerfSuite that is targeted to performance analysis of user applications on Linux-based systems is described. These tools emphasize ease of use/deployment and portability/reuse in implementation details as well as data representation and format. After a year of public beta availability and production deployment on Linux clusters that rank among the largest-scale in the country, PerfSuite is gaining acceptance as a user-oriented and flexible software tool set that is as valuable on the desktop as it is on leading-edge terascale clusters.
