Project Description:
The main objective of this project is to use Paradyn, a parallel performance tool, to analyze and evaluate the performance of ASCI benchmark AZTEC. And to identify the bottleneck in the benchmark application, improve the performance by algorithmic changes or MPI specific changes, suggest improvement to the tool for the benchmark.
