Model Threading Designs

Analyze, design, tune, and check threading design options without disrupting your normal development by running the
Threading
 Perspective.
The
Threading
 Perspective can help you to:
  • Model different threading designs for your application
  • Prototype project scaling on systems with larger core counts
  • Find performance issues and fix them before implementing parallelism
  • Find and eliminate data-sharing issues during design

How It Works

The
Threading
 perspective includes the following steps:
  1. Run the
    Survey
     analysis to find candidates for parallelizing.
  2. Add parallel site and task annotations to your code and re-build your application.
  3. Run
    Suitability
     analysis to view proposed parallel design options.
  4. Run
    Dependencies
     analysis to identify stoppers for adding parallel code.

Threading Summary

Threading
 perspective reports information about your application performance recommends you loops/functions to parallelize with the highest gain:
  • View the main performance metrics of your program with execution time details.
  • View optimization recommendations that help you to improve the overall performance of your application and separate loops/functions.
  • Examine how different parallel design options affect performance of annotated loops/functions and view estimated gain for each option. Check if annotated loops have dependencies that can be show-stoppers while parallelizing your code.
