Abstract

In this paper a tool is introduced that is capable of measuring and describing program execution on massively parallel computing systems. It allows to focus measurements on relevant points of execution by specifying behavioral attributes. Relevant aspects of the scalable implementation of this tool are described and an example of its application is given.
