Performance Analysis Tools: MPE2, mpiP and libunwind Installation on Linux

I have built all these tools on our clusters using Intel compilers. Location of all the executables like icc, ifort, icpc, mpicc, etc have already been added to the path. The locations of intel, mpi libraries are appended to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. If you haven't done it yet then you can do that using export PATH=$PATH: and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:. Better add these two lines to your ~/.bashrc.

First, I had to build libunwind so that mpiP can be built using this. It can be downloaded at http://www.nongnu.org/libunwind/.

Building libunwind

$ ./configure CC=icc CFLAGS="-g -O3 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" CXX=icc \
CCAS=icc CCASFLAGS="-g -O3 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" \
LDFLAGS="-L$PWD/src/.libs" --prefix=/home/manchu/libunwind/ \
--exec-prefix=/home/manchu/libunwind/ --enable-cxx-exceptions --enable-debug
$ make
$ sudo bash
$ make install

Profiling tool mpiP can be downloaded at http://mpip.sourceforge.net/.

Building mpiP

$ ./configure --prefix=/home/manchu/mpiP/ --exec-prefix=/home/manchu/mpiP/ \
CC=mpicc CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" F77=mpif77 \
FFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" --with-cxx=mpic++ \
CXXFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" --enable-demangling=GNU \
--enable-fortranweak --enable-getarg --with-libunwind=/home/manchu/libunwind/lib/ \
--enable-collective-report-default
$ make
$ sudo bash
$ make install

You can download the profiling cum tracing tool MPE2 here. If you're installing MPICH2 then don't bother about this as it comes with this package.

Building MPE2

$ ./configure --prefix=/home/manchu/mpe2/ --exec-prefix=/home/manchu/mpe2/ \
CC=icc CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" MPI_CC=mpicc \
MPI_CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" F77=ifort \
FFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" MPI_F77=mpif77 \
MPI_FFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -align -Zp8 -axP -unroll -xP -ip" --enable-collchk \
--enable-wrappers --enable-checkMPIwtime --enable-g
$ make
$ sudo bash
$ make install

If you see any problems with finding libraries then I recommend you add LDFLAGS as well as CPPFLAGS, etc. Do ./configure -help to see more options.
