Debugging and profiling scientific code, and commercial optimized libraries

• Bernard Van Renterghem (UCL CISM)

Room: MERCATOR B336 <table border="0" cellpadding="10px"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <p>When a piece of software does not work the way it is expected to, it needs debugging. Then, when it works, it needs profiling to remove the bottlenecks.
