Abstract:

To support the transition from programming languages in which
parallelism and communication are explicit to high-level languages that
rely on compilers to infer such details from data decomposition directives,
tools for performance analysis require increased sophistication
and integration with other components in the programming system.
We explore integration of 
performance tools with compilers for data parallel languages by
integrating the Rice Fortran 77D compiler and the Illinois Pablo
Environment.
This integration permits analysis and correlation of the compiler-generated
code's dynamic behavior and performance with the original data
parallel source code.
We expect that our strategy can serve as a model for integration 
of other data parallel compilers and performance tools.
