Scalasca
Scalasca is a performance analysis tool that supports large-scale systems,
including IBM Blue Gene and CrayXT and small systems.
The Scalasca provides information about the communication and synchronization among
the processors. This information will help to do the performance analysis, optimization,
and tunning of scientificcodes. Scalasca supports OpenMP, MPI, and hybrid programming model,
and a analysis can be done by using the GUI which can be seen in below figure.
