MPI Program Performance Introduction Defining the performance of a parallel program is more complex than simply optimizing its execution time. This is because of the large number of variables that can influence a programs behavior. Some of these variables are the number of processors the size of the data being worked on interprocessor communications limits available memory This chapter will discuss various approaches to performance modeling and how to evaluate performance models with empirical performance data taken by data collecting performance tools. Introduction to Performance Modeling
