On 15th December 2021, POP delivered its popular Performance Analysis Methodology Workshop, held online and organised in collaboration with the Computer Science Department and Advanced Research Computing at Durham University, DiRAC and the N8 CIR. The workshop gave a comprehensive grounding in the basics of performance analysis for research and simulation codes, and explained the POP metrics for MPI, OpenMP and hybrid codes, as well as trace collection using the Barcelona Supercomputer Center’s tracing tools and NAG’s PyPOP. It attracted an impressive 49 attendees from the UK’s HPC research software engineering community.

The presentation slides are available here.
