Score-P

The Score-P (Scalable Performance Measurement Infrastructure for Parallel Codes) measurement infrastructure is a highly scalable and easy-to-use tool suite for profiling and event trace recording of HPC applications.

You can build and install Score-P either using ready-to-use tarballs from https://score-p.org/ or using a Git checkout.

Build from a downloaded source package

Download a tarball and just do the following:

$ tar xf scorep-<version>.tar.gz
$ mkdir scorep-<version>/_build
$ cd scorep-<version>/_build
$ ../configure --prefix=PREFIX <further options, see INSTALL>
$ make
$ make install

If not already in $PATH, this will also install the Score-P dependencies CubeW, CubeLib, OTF2, and OPARI2 under PREFIX. Add PREFIX/bin to $PATH.

The configure output, also accessible via the file scorep.summary, will provide information about compilers used and components found. Rerun configure with different options until satisfied.

After make install you will find html and pdf documentation as well as usage examples under PREFIX/share/doc/scorep.

Build from Git checkout

If building and installing from the Git checkout, the following requirements are needed (assuming PREFIX/bin is in $PATH):

• AfS-dev (patched versions of Autotools):

  Install via

  $ wget https://perftools.pages.jsc.fz-juelich.de/utils/afs-dev/afs-dev-latest.tar.gz
  $ tar xf afs-dev-latest.tar.gz
  $ cd afs-dev-latest
  $ ./install-afs-dev.sh --continue-after-download --prefix=PREFIX

• Perftools-dev (code beautification and documentation generation):

  Install via

  $ wget https://perftools.pages.jsc.fz-juelich.de/utils/perftools-dev/perftools-dev-latest.tar.gz
  $ tar xf perftools-dev-latest.tar.gz
  $ cd perftools-dev-latest
  $ ./install-perftools-dev.sh --continue-after-download --prefix=PREFIX

• OPARI2, OTF2, CubeW, CubeLib

  Download from https://score-p.org/, extract, and install into PREFIX.

Once the requirements are set up, build and install like this:

$ ./bootstrap
$ mkdir _build
$ cd _build
$ ../configure --prefix=PREFIX <further options, see INSTALL>
$ make
$ make install

Please have a look at INSTALL for a complete list of build options. Please consult OPEN_ISSUES for known deficiencies.

Build using containers

Docker images are provided to ease development for common frameworks.

Images are available for the following base images:

• Ubuntu: scorep/devel-gcc and scorep/devel-clang
• NVIDIA HPC SDK: scorep/devel-nvhpc
• Intel oneAPI: scorep/devel-oneapi
• AMD ROCm: scorep/devel-rocm

Images tagged as latest are for use with the main branch. For releases use as tag the major.minor version of Score-P. I.e., scorep/devel-gcc:8.0 to build any Score-P 8.0.x release in the GCC container.

Start the container with:

[host]$ docker run [--rm] -it \
            --cap-add SYS_PTRACE \
            --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
            -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
            --volume $PWD:/workspace \
            scorep/devel-gcc

[container]$ ./bootstrap
[container]$ mkdir _build
[container]$ cd _build
[container]$ ../configure
[container]$ make
