Introduction
Usage
First load the needed software module:
module load performance/extrae
Then create a configuration file for the extrae run. Commented templates can be found under $EXTRAE_HOME/share/example.
Now set up the environment for the run.
export LD_PRELOAD=$EXTRAE_HOME/lib/libmpitrace.so
export EXTRAE_CONFIG_FILE=extrae.xml
export EXTRAE_CONFIG_FILE=extrae.xml
Finally run your application as usual. This will generate the needed tracefiles.
Viewing traces with Paraver
To create a tracefile which is viewable with Paraver we have to convert the generated traces to a prv file
mpi2prv -f TRACE.mpits -o output.prv
