Cube -user Manual Generic Display for Application Performance Data

CUBE is a generic presentation component suitable for displaying a wide variety of performance metrics for parallel programs including MPI and OpenMP applications. Program performance is represented in a multi-dimensional space including various program and system resources. The tool allows the interactive exploration of this space in a scalable fashion and browsing the different kinds of performance behavior with ease. CUBE also includes a library to read and write performance data as well as operators to compare, integrate, and summarize data from different experiments. This user manual provides instructions of how to install CUBE, how to use the display, how to use the operators, and how to write CUBE files.
