Caliper 2.2.0

Caliper 2.2.0 brings lots of improvements and new features, including

• Many improvements to the ConfigManager API and syntax
• Support for metadata collection with adiak
• Collection of I/O metrics (bytes read/written, read/write bandwidth) for POSIX and C I/O
• Record memory high-water mark
• New hatchet-region-profile and hatchet-sample-profile ConfigManager configurations to collect profile data for analysis with hatchet

Caliper 2.1.1

This is a bugfix release. It addresses some issues in the ConfigManager API and runtime-report controller, restores the ability to cycle through different colors in the nvprof/nvtx annotation bindings, and makes the alloc.total_size attribute aggregatable.

Caliper 2.1.0

Caliper 2.1.0 brings improvements and new functionality, including

• Simplified linking: libcaliper is now self-contained, linking -lcaliper (or -lcaliper-serial for non-MPI programs) includes all caliper modules. It is no longer necessary to add libcaliper-mpi for MPI programs or libcaliper-reader, libcaliper-common, etc. when linking statically.
• ConfigManager: A new, easy interface to enable and control built-in Caliper configuration profiles such as runtime-report from within applications.
• ChannelController: A new interface to simplify creation of custom, application-controlled Caliper configuration profiles.
• RegionProfile: A new interface that lets applications collect and access timing info for annotated Caliper regions directly.
• The new cpuinfo service reports CPU id and NUMA node where a snapshot was taken.
• Various improvements in the table and tree output formatters.
• Gotcha 1.0.2 now comes bundled with Caliper.

Caliper 2.0.1

This is a minor release that fixes compilation with PGI and BG/Q compilers.

Caliper 2.0.0
