Evaluating OpenMP Performance Analysis Tools with the APART Test Suite

The APART working group is developing the APART Test Suite (ATS) for evaluating (automatic) performance analysis tools with respect to their correctness – that is, their ability to detect actual performance problems – and their effectiveness in doing so. This article briefly describes the design of the test suite and in more detail the ATS test programs related to OpenMP. It reports on results from applying two manual and one automatic OpenMP performance analysis tools to the test cases generated from ATS.
