Abstract

Within the last years, Python became more prominent in the scientific community and is now used for simulations, machine learning, and data analysis. All these tasks profit from additional compute power offered by parallelism and offloading. In the domain of High Performance Computing (HPC), we can look back to decades of experience exploiting different levels of parallelism on the core, node or inter-node level, as well as utilising accelerators. By using performance analysis tools to investigate all these levels of parallelism, we can tune applications for unprecedented performance. Unfortunately, standard Python performance analysis tools cannot cope with highly parallel programs. Since the development of such software is complex and error-prone, we demonstrate an easy-to-use solution based on an existing tool infrastructure for performance analysis. In this paper, we describe how to apply the established instrumentation framework Score-P to trace Python applications. We finish with a study of the overhead that users can expect for instrumenting their applications.
