Performance optimization is a key issue for the development of efficient parallel software applications. Vampir provides an easy to use analysis framework which enables developers to quickly display program behavior at any level of detail:

• It converts performance data obtained from a program into different performance views.
• It supports navigation and zooming within these displays.
• It helps to identify inefficient parts of code.
• It leads to more efficient programs.

Vampir implements optimized event analysis algorithms and customizable displays which enables a fast and interactive rendering of very complex performance monitoring data. Ultra large data volumes can be analyzed with a parallel version of Vampir which is available on request.

Vampir is based on standard X-Windows and works on desktop Unix workstations as well as on parallel production systems. The program is available for nearly all platforms like Linux-based PCs and Clusters, IBM, SGI, SUN, NEC, HP, and Apple.
