These challenges are representative of the application characterization problem for future Exascale systems. In this talk, we present tools developed at IBM research to collect and analyze performance data from applications running at scale on Blue Gene/Q. Using these tools we characterize performance for a range of applications running at scale on Blue Gene/Q.
