MAP is graphical interface for profiling serial and MPI codes.
It is licensed from Allinea, who are also the developers of DDT
(Distributed Debugging Tool).
Category: Profiler
Availability: MAP is a licensed product. It is available to all CCR academic users but limited to 32 CPU tokens.
Usage Notes
To show the software versions: module avail map
Loading the module will set the path and any necessary variables: module load map/version
Additional Information
The MAP manual is available on the CCR front-end in pdf format and may be viewed using xpdf. It is located at the following path:
/util/academic/allinea/tools/doc/userguide.pdf (for version 4.0)
Running MAP on CCR
There are three steps to running map on the CCR cluster:
- You must first re-compile your code with debugging enabled. Typically, you would use the "-g -O0" options when compiling and linking.
- You must then run your application under control of the MAP
profiler. Typically this involves a small modification to your
SLURM script to replace the usual launcher (e.g. mpiexec.hydra or
srun) with "map -profile". This will produce a .map output file.
Example SLURM scripts may be found off the front-end at:
/util/academic/allinea/example/map/slurm-map-mpi (an example using intel-mpi)
/util/academic/allinea/example/map/slurm-map-serial (an example for serial codes) - Load the .map file produced in step 2 into the MAP graphical interface and analyze the performance of your code.
