Vampir and VampirTrace: Event Tracing and Visualization
LLNL-PRES-426128
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Profiling vs Event Tracing
Profiling• Easy to use, low overhead, small files• Statistical information
Event Tracing• High overhead
Application perturbation Trace file storage
• Fine detail Time-based effects Flexibility
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Trace generation with VampirTrace
Developed by the Center for Information Services and High Performance Computing (ZIH) of TU Dresden
Open Source library (BSD license) LLNL-funded OTF trace format Provides tracing functionality for a large set of metrics• MPI• Threads: OpenMP and pthreads• Application function entry/exit• Performance Counters• Memory and I/O Tracing
Profiling mode

Usage
Re-build application with VampirTrace wrapper scripts• C : vtcc –vt:cc mpicc• Fortran : vtf77 –vt:f77 mpif77• C++ : vtCC –vtcxx mpiCC• Options : vtcc –vt:help• No application instrumentation : -vt:inst manual
Run application Examine trace data with Vampir or VampirServer• vampir test_HPCCG.otf• vng• srun –n 4 –ppdebug vngd

How to reduce tracing overhead?
Trace generation (VampirTrace)• Tracing limits
32MB trace buffer Default is to deactivate tracing when buffer is full.
• Event filter Run-time filter file vtfilter command
Trace Visualization (VampirServer)• Client/Server model for viewing very large tracefiles
