arXiv:2610.06352v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Performance analysis is essential for scalable MPI programs, yet tool and workflow complexity often relegates it to the end of Parallel Programming courses. EduMPI Suite lowers this entry barrier by automating cluster execution, measurement, and near-real-time analysis while visualizing MPI communication from the first program. This paper presents a three-year experience report on its integration into HPC education. We trace the transition of performance analysis from a last-week add-on to a recurring element of MPI development, using unpublished historical survey evidence and individual 2025 questionnaire data. Earlier cohorts perceived performance analysis as unnecessary, difficult, or unintuitive. In the final study, all students recommended introducing EduMPI Suite early in the course. Of 33 students, 29-33 rated it higher than conventional tools for understanding program behavior, interpreting communication, identifying bottlenecks, obtaining visual feedback, and navigating the tool. These findings support embedding performance analysis throughout MPI education before transitioning learners to professional environments.
