Roof-line Analysis
= Intel Advisor =
Intel Advisor is a set of design and analysis tool for optimizing performance. This is done by using the Advisor tools used that will help to measure analyze and improve threading, vectorization, and memory use within the performance of an application. They Advisor supports C, C++, Fortran, Python, and OpenMP. The Tools highlighted in this wiki page are Vectorization advisorthe survey analysis, Rooflinedependencies analysis, Threadingroof-line analysis, Off loadingand memory access pattern analysis. Survey Analysis will identify points in your code where vectorization or parallelization is possible and improvement to make the execution faster. Dependencies Analysis will identify data Dependencies in your code. Roofline Analysis will find performance headroom against hardware limitations and get insights for an effective optimization roadmap. Memory Access Pattern Analysis can check for various memory issues, such as non-contiguous memory accesses and flow Graphunit strides.

= Dependencies Analysis =The compiler will be unable to vectorize loops if there are potential data dependencies. The dependencies analysis will create a dependencies report that shows where possible data dependencies exist. The report will also have details about the type of dependency and how to solve the dependency. == How to set up a Survey Dependencies Analysis ==1. [[File:DA_SS1.png|1000px]] [[File:DA_SS2.png|1000px]] = Roof-line Analysis =The roofline tool creates a tool line model, to represent an application's performance in relation to hardware limitations, including memory bandwidth and computational peaks. To measure performance we use 2 axes with GFLOPs (Giga Floating point operations per second) on the y-axis, and AI(Arithmetic Intensity(FLOPs/Byte)) on the x-axis both in log scale, with this we can begin to build our roof-line. Now for any given machine, its CPU can only perform so many FLOPs so we can plot the CPU cap on our chart to represent this. Like the CPU a memory system can only supply so many gigabytes, we can represent this by a diagonal line(N GB/s * X FLOPs/Byte = Y GFLOPs/s). (pic) This chart represents the machine's hardware limitation, and it's best performance at a given AI Every function, or loop, will have specific AI, when ran we can record its GFLOPs, Because we know Its AI won't change and any optimization we do will only change the performance, this is useful when we want to measure the performance of a given change or optimization.  [[File:Flops.PNG]] = How to set up a Roof-line Analysis =
