Deadline:  18 April 2025

Systematic performance analysis is a key activity in modern HPC code development. It shifts us from trial-and-error approaches toward an engineering-like process for delivering fast code. Skills to conduct performance analysis are essential for every modern HPC research software developer. Performance analysis is challenging: We must not only understand and utilise sophisticated analysis tools but also follow a systematic workflow. In this workshop series, we will introduce key tools for analysing HPC code performance, but our primary focus will be on the workflow behind performance analysis: 

• Where do we begin? 

• What areas should we explore? 

• How can we transform ad-hoc performance analysis into a rigorous, hypothesis- and data-driven scientific workflow? 

 This workshop will equip participants with an understanding of performance analysis methodology based on the state-of-the-art in the field, along with practical skills in using analysis tools. Throughout the series, participants will collaborate on a joint report documenting findings for the broader community.
