Employ low-overhead, event-based tracing to profile the performance of multithreaded applications with and without a message-passing interface. Graphically display the concurrent behavior of your parallel application.

Analyze, optimize, and deploy high-performance applications on Intel® processor-based clusters. Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector provide information critical to understanding and optimizing MPI cluster performance by quickly finding performance bottlenecks with MPI communication. Version 7.2 now includes trace file comparison, counter data displays, and an MPI correctness checking library.

• Intuitive full color customizable GUI with many drill down view options
• Highly scalable with low overhead and efficient memory usage
• Easy run-time loading - or instrument an MPI application executable
• MPI Correctness Checking Library detects many types of errors in communication
• Integrated online help
• Easy installation and full documentation
• Full tracing and/or light-weight statistics gathering
