Use Live DVD version 2, built 5/18/09

Instrumenting NPB

cd workshop-point/NPB3.1
vi config/make.def

notice that the MPIF77 variable is set to tau_f90.sh this will enable TAU automatic instrumentation with PDT.

Setting TAU configuration

close vi.

setenv TAU_MAKEFILE=$TAU/Makefile-tau-mpi-pdt

This tells TAU to perform a basic instrumentation using PDT and the TAU MPI wrapper library. Now build the BT example program

make bt CLASS=S NPROCS=1

Running NPB example

cd bin
mpirun -np 1 ./bt.S.1

TAU Profiles will automatically be generated in the current directory, one profile file per thread.

ls 
bt.S.1  profile.0.0.0


Viewing TAU profiles

To get a simple summary of the TAU profiles type:

pprof

This gives you a basic idea of how much time was spent in different portions of the application. For example since this was a simple example that ran quickly we have a lot of time spent in MPI_Init (~60%).
