Abstract
Most existing performance tools provide generic measurements and
visual displays. It is then the responsibility of the users to analyze
the performance of their programs using the displayed information. This
can be a non-trivial task, because one needs to identify specific pieces
of information needed for such analysis. A good performance analysis
tool should be able to provide intelligent analysis, and not just
feedback, about the performance of a parallel program. Such automatic
performance analysis is feasible for programming paradigms that expose
sufficient information about program behavior. Charm, a portable,
object-based, and message-driven parallel programming language is one
such paradigm. We describe the design and implementation of
Projections:Expert, a framework for automatic performance analysis for
Charm programs
