Performance engineering workflows are composed of targets, applications, and measurements.
A target defines the hardware and software environment your experiments will be performed in. The CPU architecture, host operating system, compiler family and version, and other relevant system-level details are …
An application describes the software to be executed, e.g. your code or a benchmark. Parallelization approaches like MPI or OpenMP and binary linkage are recorded in the application configuration object. Read …
A measurement describes the desired performance data. Measurement methods like source-based instrumentation, sampling, and tracing are configured in the measurement configuration object. Read about measurements in the Users Guide.
An experiment combines one target, one application, and one measurement to generate application performance data. Read about experiments in the Users Guide.
