Overview
Arm tools are used by 70% of the top 20 supercomputer users worldwide to quickly understand application performance and achieve faster results from their debug, profiling, and optimization efforts.
Arm architecture users
Arm Allinea Studio is our solution to HPC on Arm. It contains:
- Arm Compiler for Linux:
- Arm C/C++ Compiler
- Arm Fortran Compiler
- Arm Performance Libraries
- Arm Forge
Arm Compiler for Linux enables you to generate code
for Arm platforms, and Arm Forge enables you to
debug, profile, and analyze this code.
Cross-platform users
Use Arm Forge to performance engineer for any server.
Arm Forge combines:
- A parallel debugger (Arm DDT)
- A profiler (Arm MAP)
- A reporting tool (Performance Reports) for developing and optimizing code.
It also enables you to analyze I/O, CPU, Lustre, energy, and regionally profile with Caliper.
Step 1: Complete the license request form
To get a free seven day trial of any of Arm's market leading HPC software tools, request a trials license:
Step 2: Download and install the tools
Follow the links below to download the tools suitable for your platform.
Note: You do not need to download and install the Arm Licence Server to use your trial license with the tools.
HPC on Arm:
- Download Arm Allinea Studio
(includes the latest supported version of Arm Forge)
HPC on other platforms:
- Download Arm Forge
(Note: Currently, Arm Performance Reports must be downloaded separately)
Step 3: Set up your trials license
Arm Forge and Arm Performance Reports search for individual licenses in their specific installation directories.
If you choose to put the license file in a different location, you must set the ALLINEA_LICENSE_DIR environment variable to point to it:
export ALLINEA_LICENSE_DIR=/path/to/licenses-directory
Arm Compiler for Linux (Arm Allinea Studio users) searches for a license in the /opt/arm/licenses directory. You must create the licenses directory in /opt/arm and place your license in it.
If you choose to put the license file in a different location, you must set the ARM_LICENSE_DIR environment variable to point to it:
export ARM_LICENSE_DIR=/path/to/license-directory
For more information about about licensing, see:
Step 4: Download the trials package
The package listed below contains an example program in C, Fortran, and Python formats.
With the trials package and a trials license you can:
- Compile the examples with the Arm Compiler for Linux
(Arm platform users only), or compile with another
compiler of your choice. - Analyze their performance with Arm Performance Reports.
- Debug and profile the codes with Arm Forge.
The package contains a tutorial that describes how to use the example codes with the Arm tools.
