Deep Analysis & Enterprise Applications

Select a topic to dive deeper, then explore the specific findings from the research, rebuilt as interactive, enterprise-focused modules.

Version Tracking & Git Integration

PerfAnalyzer seamlessly integrates with Git to track source code modifications, linking them directly to performance data. This enables a granular understanding of how specific commits impact efficiency across different computing environments. It provides crucial context for correlating results with meaningful changes, ensuring reliable interpretation.

Git Integration

Ensemble Data & Multivariate Parameters

Our system captures diverse computational parameters—input, output, hardware configurations, and runtime profiles—across multiple runs. This 'ensemble data' approach, combined with version awareness, helps identify complex cause-and-effect relationships that are often obscured in isolated measurements. It streamlines the analysis workflow for complex simulations.

Ensemble Data

Interactive Dashboards & Trend Identification

The PerfAnalyzer dashboard uses parallel coordinate plots to visually represent high-dimensional performance data, making trends and anomalies easy to spot. This interactive interface allows researchers to drill down into specific Git commits, compare performance across versions, and quickly identify parameters related to significant changes, enhancing the interpretability for human analysts.

Traditional vs. PerfAnalyzer Approach

Feature Traditional Analysis PerfAnalyzer
Version Awareness Manual tracking, prone to errors
  • ✓ Automated Git integration, commit-level linking
Data Correlation Fragmented, difficult to link
  • ✓ Unified schema, multivariate parameter correlation
Anomaly Detection Relies on isolated measurements
  • ✓ Visual trend identification, highlights changes across versions
Reproducibility Challenging without full context
  • ✓ Enhanced by systematic parameter tracking
Ease of Use Repetitive manual tasks
  • ✓ Automated scripts, interactive dashboard
2.12x Performance Improvement observed in CloverLeaf mini-application after optimization identified by PerfAnalyzer.

Case Study: CloverLeaf Mini-Application

Challenge

Identifying the root causes of performance changes in the CloverLeaf-2D mini-application across different Git commits, using varying computational parameters and profiling data from TAU. Manual correlation was complex and time-consuming.

PerfAnalyzer Solution

Utilized PerfAnalyzer's Runner and Parser scripts to automate data collection and processing across master branch commits spanning three years. The interactive dashboard, featuring a parallel coordinate plot, visually represented performance metrics and Git commit times.

Outcome

PerfAnalyzer highlighted significant performance changes, correlating specific commits to altered total execution times. For instance, the inclusion of 'pragma ivdep' or 'pragma simd' directives was directly linked to performance increments or decrements, revealing the impact of these code modifications that would be difficult to locate using isolated measurements. This enabled program analysts to quickly pinpoint performance issues and their underlying causes.
