  • APART 2001: Automatic Performance Analysis: Resources and Tools

    This full-day workshop, held in conjunction with SC2001, will be a forum for discussing automation of performance analysis for performance-critical distributed and parallel applications. The presentations will focus on performance modeling, measurement and> analysis techniques/tools for parallel, cluster and GRID architectures. Attendance is free for all SC01 participants, who are invited to listen to the presentations and participate in the discussions. The workshop is organized by the European IST Working Group APART (http://www.fz-juelich.de/apart), which includes 10 partners from Europe and the United States.
