Abstract
Multicore CPUs are now found in desktops, servers and supercomputers but many existing parallel performance analysis tools were designed for the single-core distributed-memory world. We investigate the practicality of taking an existing tool, namely the HYDRA response time analyser, and parallelising it with OpenMP to produce a multithreaded implementation suitable for execution on multicore shared-memory machines. We discuss the amount of software engineering work required and show that only a small number of lines of code need to be added to achieve dramatic speed-ups over the serial version. We also compare the run-times of our OpenMP-parallelised version with existing MPI-parallelised code on the same hardware.
