Abstract
In this paper, we discuss ø (TAU, Tuning and Analysis Utilities), the first prototype of an integrated and portable program analysis environment for pC++ , a parallel object-oriented language system. ø is unique in that it was developed specifically for pC++ and relies heavily on pC++ 's compiler and transformation tools (specifically, the Sage ++ toolkit) for its implementation. This tight integration allows ø to achieve a combination of portability, functionality, and usability not commonly found in high-level language environments. The paper describes the design and functionality of ø , using a new tool for breakpoint-based program analysis as an example of ø 's capabilities. 1 Introduction The trend towards using high-level parallel language systems to program scalable parallel computers must be accompanied by advances in the tools and environments for program analysis and tuning. The language system concerns are achieving programmability through parallel programming abstractions...
