[Llvm-bgq-discuss] Performance Tools?

you should ask the scalasca folks if that is a real limitation or not.  maybe they just don't bother to support gcc since their customers over in germany are happy with xl compilers at juelich.

i know tau works with clang on regular machines so i see no real issue there.  i'll let hal decide how to proceed w.r.t. him creating wrappers vs. asking sameer to do it.

best,

jeff
