Conclusion

Oracle Solaris Studio Performance Analyzer enables you to observe performance and pinpoint problem areas in complex multithreaded applications. The simple example described in this tutorial illustrates the basics for examining relationships between MPI functions and messages. Using the MPI timeline, MPI charts, and zooming and filtering capabilities, you can gather and process performance data, view metrics at the program, function, source line, and instruction level, and identify potential performance problems before they become deployment issues.
