ESiWACE3 and the National Competence Center for HPC in Austria are organising the training event "Extrae and Paraver: Profiling Weather and Climate Applications" as part of the CASTIEL2 Training Sprint, on the 27th of January 2025.
This course is about the BSC performance analysis tools, which are a set of different tools to support developers in the evaluation, tuning, and optimization of their codes. There are two main applications: Extrae, devoted to generating trace-files for a post-mortem analysis without modifying the source code, and Paraver, which is a flexible performance analyzer of the Extrae traces. They support different programming models such as C/C++, Fortran, Python, MPI, and OpenMP, as well as tracing of hardware counters, user functions, etc. In this course, we will demonstrate the use of the tools in profiling weather and climate models, as an example, but they can be applied to any field of HPC.
The course consists of a theoretical part and hands-on labs for participants to practice how to analyze an Extrae trace with Paraver. We will use a climate application as a demonstration, focusing on typical problems arising from numerical models and computational fluid dynamic applications.
The event is free, but registration is required through this link.
We hope you enjoy this online training event!
