POP Advisor is a standard plugin and is available as long as the measurement contains a Time metric. The main goal of the POP Advisor plugin is to provide a user a fast access to the various POP performance evaluations of the performance of their HPC application.

Getting Started with Advisor

If measurement contains metric Time, CubeGUI will enable the POP Advisor plugin in the "General" tab in the plugins section.

Some Supported Assessments can be disabled due to missing performance properties, e.g. missing PAPI counters. In such cases one potential solution is to merge original measurement with measurement which includes missing properties and run analysis again. Measurement merging can be done with one of the context-free plugins Plugin "Merge" or Plugin "Mean".

Moreover, some assessments are hidden and can be available in "expert" mode (see Command line options).

Supported Assessments

Advisor supports various performance assessments, Only-MPI assessment, Hybrid Additive and Multiplicative Assessment, BSC POP Assessment. Detailed documentation about these take look in the tools guide of CubeLib package
