Once the experiment runs are complete, the tool reads the timings from the log files and produces summary plots of efficiency, node hours and wallclock against the number of nodes. These plots can then be used directly for the proposal. + +## Code and Documentation + +* [Scaling Analysis Tool](https://github.com/C2SM/scaling_analysis)
