IPS-2 is a performance measurement system for parallel and distributed programs. It allows application programmers to measure their parallel programs (both shared-memory and distributed), and produce execution profiles, graphs, and high-level analyses. IPS-2 is in current use on VAX, DECstation (MIPS-based), and Sequent Symmetry computers, and has been used for a wide variety of performance tasks. The goal of this project is to adapt and port IPS-2 to the supercomputer environment; specifically for the CRAY Y/MP under UNICOS. Providing IPS-2 under UNICOS will allow the system to be available to several of the NSF Supercomputer sites. This effort will place powerful performance tools in the hands of an important class of parallel programmers, i.e., those writing sophisticated scientific applications. IPS-2 should simplify the analysis of complex programs, and make more efficient use of both hardware and programmer resources. The combination of the Wisconsin IPS-2 group and the NSF San Diego Supercomputer Center staff provides both the performance measurement experience and the Cray UNICOS expertise to successfully transfer the IPS-2 system to a broader audience of researchers.//

IPS-2是一种并行和 分布式程序。 它允许应用程序员测量 他们的并行程序（共享内存和分布式）， 生成执行概况、图表和高级分析。 IPS-2 目前在VAX、DECstation（基于MIPS）和Sequent上使用 对称计算机，并已用于各种各样的 性能任务。 本项目的目标是将IPS-2适配并移植到 超级计算机环境;特别是CRAY Y/MP下 UNICOS。 在UNICOS下提供IPS-2将使系统能够 它可以在NSF的几个超级计算机站点上使用。 这一努力 将把强大的性能工具交给重要的 并行程序员类，即，那些写得很复杂的 科学应用。 IPS-2应简化对 复杂的程序，并更有效地利用硬件和 程序员资源。 威斯康星州IPS-2小组和美国国家科学基金会圣地亚哥 超级计算机中心的工作人员既提供性能测量 经验和Cray UNICOS专业知识，成功地将 IPS-2系统，以更广泛的研究人员的观众。//
