Description-en: Tuning and Analysis Utilities - base profiling/tracing toolkit
TAU is a profiling toolkit specially made for parallel computing
(multi-thread, multi-process, MPI, PVM). It consists of an
instrumentation API, which can be used manually (or added
automatically by other instrumentation tools) to get runtime
profiling information.
.
This package provides the API and library, and the command-line
analysis tool. A Tcl/Tk-based GUI is available in package tau-racy.
.
This version is built with pthread support only. Support for PVM and
MPI, as well as use of PCL or PAPI for the use of hardware counters,
and of PDT or DynInst for automatic code instrumentation, are not
available in packaged form yet.
