Detailed dependency analysis and I/O profiling
Resolve application file and network dependencies for migration.
Capture application environment and I/O patterns for debugging deployment and performance issues.
Profile application I/O for storage sizing and tuning.
System Administrators
Gain a deep insight into I/O patterns and application environment via the GUI.
HPC users
Make every engineer an I/O expert with an html I/O healthcheck report.
Developers
Run regression tests for I/O patterns and dependencies via the commandline API.
Why profile I/O?
Problems such as storing files in the wrong place or trawling the PATH variable happen all the time and are easy to fix.
“Long term we expect to see significant gains by catching problems before they happen with Breeze.”
Julien Palleau, Engineering IT at ARM
Customer case studies
Debugging environment issues
“We changed this environment and the problem was solved! We solved the problem in 45 minutes. I’m happy with that!”
Steve Robson, Field Applications Engineer at Cadence.
Speeding up a build by 87%
“After changing my script and rerunning I observed about 87% improvement in incremental build (16 sec to 2 sec)!”
Ahmed Ismail, software engineer at Mentor Graphics
Remote customer support
“Using Breeze, we could immediately see that it was not a dependencies issue so both Ansys and our customer saved time.”
Simon Cross, Global Customer Services at Ansys
Build and release tests
“Hard-coded paths caused a massive slowdown where jobs were taking 3x longer. Using Breeze, we quickly found the hard-coded path and later confirmed the fix.”
Jenson Ho, Developer Support Engineer at Mentor Graphics
Optimising I/O performance
“With the tools from Ellexus we were able to identify why we were hitting I/O bottlenecks in areas where we expected full CPU utilisation.”
