Valgrind can handle MPI programs (eg. see
http://www.valgrind.org/docs/manual/mc-manual.html#mc-manual.mpiwrap).
 However, Cachegrind very much assumes a single machine with a single
I1/D1/L2 cache hierarchy, and only considers a single process in
isolation.  So I don't think it will be much help to you, sorry.
