K-scope
Overview
K-scope is a source code analysis tool with graphical user interface that visualizes program structures of Fortran 90 and FORTRAN 77 with fixed or free form source code. It is suitable for source code reading for engineers who work the performance improvement for an application of high performance computing.
K-scope has some features as follows.
- Visualization for static program structure with form of a tree
- Visualization for profiling results for the K computer
- Summarization of variable properties
- Estimation of required byte/FLOP for array variables in the source code
- Searching keywords for procedure or module name
- English and Japanese is supported.
If you can access a server installed with Omni XcalableMP compiler, you can build intermediate codes on the server remotely via SSH service by SSHconnect.jar. This software is an utility for remote command execution with automatic data transfer. It is developed by RIKEN AICS HPC Usability Research Team in collaboration to enhance the K-scope's feature, and is bundled with the binary package of K-scope.
Also, we collaborate with Yokokawa labratory in Kobe university to improve the performance tuning environment of HPC. After version 0.2.6, K-scope imported some features from the contributions as an experimental study.
[Note] K-scope requires front-end program of the Omni XcalableMP compiler to make intermediate codes. If you're an user of the K computer, you can make intermediate codes with the front-end program. If not, you need to download the source code from here, and compile it before using K-scope.
