Before Running the Suitability Tool

The Suitability tool runs your annotated serial program's executable and measures it to predict its approximate parallel performance. Use the Suitability data to help you choose the best places to add parallelism.

Before you run the Suitability tool, do the following:

To run the Suitability tool, do one of the following:

The Suitability tool needs to collect and analyze data about your running program's annotated parallel sites and tasks, so running the Suitability tool will take longer than running your program.

After you change annotations or fix data sharing problems reported by the Dependencies tool, run the Suitability tool again to revise the predicted parallel performance.

You can set the default value for the CPU Count in the Options > General dialog box. Use this dialog box to also choose the Maximum CPU Count, which specifies the X axis values in the scalability graph and limits the maximum value allowed for the CPU Count in the Suitability Report window (see Dialog Box: Options - General).
