Score-P
The Score-P instrumentation infrastructure allows tracing and sampling of MPI and Open MP parallel applications. Among others, it is used to generate traces in the otf2 format for the Tracec viewer Vampir and profiling records in the cubex format for the CUBE visualizer. |

Introduction
Analyzing an application with Score-P is done in multiple steps:
- Compiling the application with the scorep wrappercompiler
- Running the instrumented application
- Analyzing the performance records with CUBE for profiles or with Vampir for traces
See also this page for a more detailed Score-P based workflow for profiling and tracing.
Usage
Compiling with scorep
First load the needed software module:
module load scorep
# on Vulcan
module load performance/scorepNow you can compile your application using the scorep compiler wrappers in place of the original C, C++, and Fortran compilers:
scorep-mpicc
scorep-mpicxx
Generating the trace/profile files
Run your application with the instrumented bianry. This will generate the needed trace and profile files.
export SCOREP_ENABLE_PROFILING=true # enable to generate cubex profile for CUBE
# export SCOREP_FILTERING_FILE=<filter file> # specify filter file to reduce overheads if necessary
export MPI_SHEPHERD=true # needed for MPT on HAWK
PAPI counter information
To include PAPI counter information into your analysis, set the following variable to the desired PAPI counter names:
Hints
In case there are problems with the post-processing of traces, we suggest to try to add the following options the post-processing tool in order to produce a 'scout.cubex' output
scan -t -s mpirun <mpi option> <app> <app agruments>
If the '.ortf2' trace file already exists one can also manually call the post-processing tool:
There also exists a `scout.ser`, `scout.omp` and `scout.hyb` for serial, OpenMP and hybrid jobs respectively.
