Tuning and Analysis Utilities (TAU) is a program and performance analysis tool for high-performance parallel and distributed computing with a suite of tools for static and dynamic analysis of programs written in C, C++, FORTRAN 77/90, Python, High Performance FORTRAN, and Java.

You'll also need the Program Database Toolkit (PDT), also available from the same location. Let's install that first. You'll need to set your environment variables. You use modules, right?


module load gcc/4.4.4
modulel load openmpi-gcc/1.3.4
cd /usr/local/src/PDT
wget http://tau.uoregon.edu/pdt.tgz
cd pdtoolkit-3.16
mkdir /usr/local/pdt/3.16
./configure -prefix=/usr/local/pdt/3.16
gmake
gmake install


Note that README recommends gmake over "vendor-supplied" make.

Now for TAU. Download from University of Oregon, untar and run the
impressive configure script. Ensure that the path to PDT is the right version!


cd /usr/local/src/TAU
wget http://tau.uoregon.edu/tau.tgz .
tar xvf tau.tgz cd tau-2.23
module load openmpi-gcc/1.7.0
module load papi/5.4.1
../config
make install
cd /usr/local/Modules/modulefiles/tau
ln -s .base-1.7.0 2.22.2


The config file takes the following form.


#!/bin/bash
install=$(basename $(pwd) | sed 's%-%/%')
./configure -bfd=download -unwind=download -pdt=/usr/local/pdt/3.21/ -openmp -papi=/usr/local/papi/5.4.1 -mpi -mpiinc=/usr/local/openmpi/1.7.0-gcc/include -mpilib=/usr/local/openmpi/1.7.0-gcc/lib -prefix=/usr/local/$(basename $(pwd) | sed 's#-#/#')-openmpigcc


Create or symlink .base files as appropriate.
