Abstract

Performance analysis of parallel programs is a time-consuming task and requires a lot of experience. It is the goal of the KOJAK project at the Research Centre Juelich to develop an automatic performance analysis environment. A key requirement for the success of this new environment is its easy integration with already existing tools on the target platform. The design should lead to tools that can be easily retargeted to different parallel machines based on specification documents. This article outlines the features of the APART Specification Language designed for that purpose and demonstrates its applicability in the context of the K OJAK Cost Analyzer, a first prototype tool of KOJAK.
