Novel Techniques and Methods for Performance Measurement, Analysis and . . .

The evolution of parallel and distributed architectures and programming paradigms for performance-oriented program development challenges the state of technology for performance tools. Coupling different programming paradigms such as message passing and shared memory programming for hybrid cluster computing (e.g. SMP clusters) is one example for high demands on performance analysis tools that are capable to cope with applications for multiple programming models and target architectures. Performance tools must be able to observe performance problems at all levels of a system while relating low-level behavior to the application program. Thi
