How to find bottlenecks

[spacedout]

Hello

Is the following the best way to find where the program spends most of its time ???

.....
st = CPUTime()

.....
any desired section of code
.....

st = CPUTime() - st
WRITE( Message, * ) 'Solve (s) :',st
CALL Info( Caller, Message, Level=5 )
.....

repeating the above in all places of interest within all solvers called by the SIF.

Best to all

Hi

This pair can also be used and it includes output.
CALL ResetTimer("mytimer")
! stuff done
CALL CheckTimer("mytimer",Delete=.TRUE.)

Also you can ask in any Solver section
Solver Timing = True
Linear System Timing = True

Generally the time is spent either in setting up the matrix equation or solving it. The 1st scales linearly and parallelizes trivially, the 2nd part not so.
