In this talk an overview of the Advanced Computing Technology 
Center (ACTC) application performance analysis tools for tuning 
and optimization of applications running on the IBM SP will be 
presented. The ACTC tools were designed to help users to 
understand the behavior of applications on complex parallel 
environments. The talk will cover the tools developed for
performance analysis on the IBM SP systems, as well as, 
performance tools under development, that are designed to 
provide feedback to users with regards to the use of the 
memory hierarchy on the new Power4 processor.
