Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: In modern parallel architectures, memory accesses represent a common bottleneck. Thus, optimizing the way applications access the memory is an important way to improve performance and energy consumption. Memory accesses are even more important with NUMA machines, as the access time to data depends on its location in the memory. Many efforts re made to develop adaptive tools to improve memory accesses at the runtime by optimizing the mapping of data and threads to NUMA nodes. Hover, theses tools are not able to change the memory access pattern of the original application, therefore a code written without considering memory performance might not benefit from them. Moreover, automatic mapping tools take time to converge towards the best mapping, losing optimization opportunities. A deeper understanding of the memory behavior can help optimizing it, removing the need for runtime analysis.   ,  present  TABARNAC , a tool for analyzing the memory behavior of parallel applications with a focus on NUMA architectures.  TABARNAC  provides a new visualization of the memory access behavior, focusing on the distribution of accesses by thread and by structure. Such visualization allows the developer to easily understand why performance issues occur and how to fix them. Using  TABARNAC ,  explain why some applications do not benefit from data and thread mapping. Moreover,  propose several code modifications to improve the memory access behavior of several parallel applications.
