No other tool covers all the bases in such a straight-forward way

More than just data

ParaTools ThreadSpotter automatically analyzes an application as it’s running, lists the performance problems in order of importance, suggests fixes and gives the developer valuable insights and statistics needed to quickly assess and fix the problems. It makes performance experts more productive and helps less experienced developers become more educated in which techniques work well with the underlying hardware.

Resolve Issues

ParaTools ThreadSpotter far surpasses simply collecting raw performance data – instead, it identifies, classifies and instructs the developer in ways to remove specific issues.

Find Solutions

ParaTools ThreadSpotter offers a solid, detailed understanding of performance problems to allow a quick resolution on the system under examination. 

Predict Performance

ParaTools ThreadSpotter can also perform cross-architecture analysis to model performance in execution environments where the application has never been run before.

Behind the Scenes

How does it work?

ParaTools ThreadSpotter uses dynamic binary instrumentation to efficiently capture sparse memory fingerprints representing the essence of the application’s data and thread locality properties. No restart or recompilation of the application is necessary.

The memory fingerprint carries all relevant information for ThreadSpotter to be able to extrapolate the right metrics to any cache. It can also accurately predict these metrics for cache constellations that are different from the architecture where the fingerprint was acquired.

Fortunately, the user does not need to understand the underlying memory system in detail. ParaTools ThreadSpotter will direct the user in modifying code for effective use of the memory system and increased application performance.  Developers of any experience level can quickly identify and resolve performance issues.

ParaTools ThreadSpotter correlates all problems to their respective source code instructions and data structures. It captures and displays call stack information leading up to the location of the problem so it’s easy to find performance issues in the application source code.  The call stack information is also displayed in the analysis and presentation of relevant advice and specific metrics for each unique instruction. In other words, ParaTools ThreadSpotter understands the hardware intricacies and their relation to performance so you can concentrate on your application.
