Tutorial: Reducing Trace File Size for Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector
Intel®
Trace Analyzer and Collector enables you to understand MPI application
behavior and quickly find bottlenecks to achieve high performance for
parallel cluster applications. Intel Trace Collector generates trace
files of MPI applications, while Intel Trace Analyzer visualizes the MPI
application behavior using the generated trace file.
Large trace files are hard to manage: it takes a long time to generate them, a lot of disk space to store them, and they are difficult to analyze with the Intel® Trace Analyzer. For these reasons, you need reduce the trace file size whenever possible. Learn how to reduce trace file size with the Intel® Trace Collector.
