Author here; thanks for sharing, the HPC world is a real blindspot for me and I think we're probably missing some of their insights when profiling regular applications. I'll research these and add them to the database

You are very wise. Visualization and analysis in particular, but also facilities, from what I've seen. I couldn't find anything in the Python world to measure a Python application calling native code (like linear algebra), but at least Score-P, Extrae, and TAU can, and for parallel applications.
Thanks, I've gone through and added these HPC tools to the spreadsheet.

FYI I'd consider py-spy for profiling Python+C extensions: https://github.com/benfred/py-spy#can-py-spy-profile-native-...
