Wyatt –
I think we now have a successful
installation of the PTP stuff on our Core2 cluster. At least Eclipse shows the MPI
and OpenMP menu items and tool bar buttons.
I can even go to Window->Show
View->Other and see the Performance Data Manager plugin with the TAU icon.
However, I’m stymied as to how to
locate the PAPI plugin.
Can you help? What am I missing? What
should I read?
Thanks,
- dan

Greetings,
Thanks to Beth's diligent efforts the current set of performance analysis
plugins are now up on CVS. The improvements and various bugfixes are
listed over on the eclipsezilla entry (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=168292). Quite a lot
has changed since the last CVS commit but one of the most exciting new features
is the ability for the user to specify his or her own performance tools,
weather they are compiler wrappers, execution utilities of performance data
analysis tools, for use in a basic performance analysis work-flow.
I intend to have an updated entry on the PTP wiki soon detailing the new
functionality. The current entry (http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/designs/perf_tools_framework/TAU
) remains accurate with respect to the TAU-specific functionality.
There is still a lot to be done and things are being added and adjusted fairly
quickly. The next patch should include better support for specifying the
output and analysis of performance data. Additional features in the works
include support for database-enabled storage and display of profile data types
in addition to TAU's, support for tool-specific environment variable
configuration, EFS compatibility and user defined tool configuration tabs in
the launch configuration manager.
If anyone wants help installing and using the plugins please let me know.
Questions, comments or feedback on the performance plugins are
encouraged. Development is quite flexible at this point so this is a good
time to provide suggestions.
Regards,
Wyatt Spear
