Overview

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 for MPI applications, while Intel® Trace Analyzer visualizes the MPI application behavior using the generated trace file.

Besides the regular performance analysis, Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector can perform correctness checking of MPI applications, which can help you:

About This Tutorial

This tutorial demonstrates the correctness checking workflow applied to sample MPI applications with the following types of errors:

  • Data type mismatch
  • Deadlock

You can ultimately apply the same steps to your own application(s).

Estimated Duration

10-15 minutes.

Learning Objectives

After you complete this tutorial, you should be able to:

  • Run the correctness checker for your own applications
  • Detect and resolve various errors in your applications
