VampirTrace v4

Overview

Vampir allows visual modelling of the parallel performance of your code. VampirTrace libraries generate tracefiles which can be used in Vampir from there it is possible to see where bottlenecks are occuring within the code. Vampir allows you to understand the application behaviour, analyse load balancing, learn about communication patterns and identify communication hotspots.
