3 All in One -- Intel® Cluster Studio XE 2012

Analysis & Correctness Tools

Shared & Distributed Memory Application Development Intel Cluster Studio XE supports:

-Shared Memory Processing MPI Libraries & Tools -Distributed Memory Processing Compilers & Libraries Programming Models -Hybrid Processing

Key reasons : • More intuitive – Improved GUI points to application inefficiencies • Preconfigured & customizable analysis profiles • Timeline View highlights concurrency issues • New Event/PC counter ratio analysis concept easy to grasp

The Old Way: To see if there is an issue with branch misprediction, multiply event value (86,400,000) by 14 cycles, then divide by CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD (5,214,000,000). Then compare the resulting value to a threshold. If it is too high, investigate.

The New Way: Look at the Branch Mispredict metric, and see if any cells are pink. If so, investigate.
