Exercises

1.   Use one or more performance tools to obtain and analyze performance data from programs developed by using tools described in earlier chapters. Relate observed performance to analytic models and explain any disparities.

2. Devise and carry out experiments to quantify the overhead of data collection in the performance tool(s) used in Exercise 1.

3. Explain why reversing the order in which integrals are allocated can be expected to improve performance in the computational chemistry code discussed in Section 9.4.2 and illustrated in Plate 12.
