Scalable Performance Analysis of Large-Scale Applications
Initial summary measurement

The instrumented executable prepared in the previous step can now be executed under the control of the scalasca -analyze (or short scan) convenience command to perform an initial summary measurement:

  % cd bin
  % scalasca -analyze mpiexec -n 64 ./bt.D.64

As can be seen, the measurement run successfully produced an experiment directory scorep_bt_64_sum containing

However, application execution took about twice as long as the reference run (940.81 vs. 462.95 seconds). That is, instrumentation and associated measurements introduced a non-negligible amount of overhead. While it is possible to interactively examine the generated summary result file using the Cube report browser, this should only be done with great caution since the substantial overhead negatively impacts the accuracy of the measurement.
