In the world of software development, the GNU Debugger (GDB) is an essential tool for programmers. It allows us to peer inside a running program, find bugs, and understand complex code. As new hardware architectures emerge, it's crucial that our tools keep pace. One such rising star is RISC-V, an open-source instruction set architecture that is rapidly gaining popularity, particularly with its new vector extensions for high-performance computing. The Challenge: An Unknown Ins

Performance analysis can often feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. When your application isn't running as fast as you'd like, where do you even begin to look? Is it a memory bottleneck? Are you stalling in the CPU's front-end? Answering these questions is critical, but traditional tools can be complex and overwhelming. This is where Intel's PerfSpect comes in. And now, thanks to some recent contributions, this powerful tool is no longer just for x86 systems. I'm h

1. Introduction In today’s fast-paced digital world, system performance is critical to the success of applications ranging from cloud computing platforms to high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. Performance modelling is a powerful technique used to predict, analyze, and optimize the efficiency of computing systems. By simulating and understanding system behavior, developers, engineers, and IT managers can make informed decisions about design, scaling, and optimization s

1. Introduction High-Performance Computing (HPC) is at the core of solving complex computational problems in scientific research, engineering, and large-scale data analysis. Benchmarking plays a critical role in evaluating and optimizing HPC system performance. The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) provides widely recognized benchmarking suites tailored for different computing environments, helping researchers, businesses, and hardware vendors assess system c
