For an innermost loop kernel in assembly, this tool allows automatic instruction fetching of assembly code and automatic runtime prediction including throughput analysis and detection for critical path and loop-carried dependencies.
In areas of computer science and computational applications in general, the key of efficient software is performance. Optimization of modern programs therefore is an important part of computational science but turns out to be complex and extremely difficult.
This is an effort to develop an easy to use but yet powerful static performance analysis tools for Linux operating systems. OSACA is capable of analyzing ... TODO
