Performance monitoring of parallel scientific applications

This paper introduces an infrastructure for efficiently collecting performance profiles from parallel HPC codes. Integrated Performance Monitoring (IPM) brings together multiple sources of performance metrics into a single profile that characterizes the overall performance and resource usage of the application. IPM maintains low overhead by using a unique hashing approach which allows a fixed memory footprint and minimal CPU usage. IPM is open source, relies on portable software technologies and is scalable to thousands of tasks
