Windows Performance Monitoring and Data Reduction using WatchTower and Argus Extended Abstract
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe and evaluate WatchTower, a system that simplifies the collection of Windows performance counter data, and Argus, a statistical methodology for evaluating this data and reducing the sheer volume of it. This is especially important when monitoring the performance of clusters for high performance computing. WatchTower’s overheads are comparable to those of Microsoft’s perfmon tool, while, unlike perfmon, it supports higher sample rates and is easily embedded into other software. Argus can reduce the behavior of a large number of raw performance counters into a few composite counters, or it can select a subset of the original counters that are statistically interesting. We are currently integrating WatchTower and Argus into a single system which we believe will be useful in a number of scenarios.

متن کاملWindows Performance Monitoring and Data Reduction Using WatchTower
We describe and evaluate WatchTower, a set of library routines that simplifies the collection of performance data for the monitoring of Windows NT/2000. WatchTower has an overhead similar to that of existing tools but is more easily embedded into other applications. More important, we show how data reduction techniques can be used to diminish the volume of performance data gathered to only that...
متن کاملDrought Monitoring Using Climatic Indices and Geostatistic Technique (Case Study: Hossein Abad Plain, Sarbisheh, Iran)
Of the many climatic events that influence the Earth’s environment, drought is perhaps the one that is most linked with desertification. Drought is the consequence of a natural reduction in the amount of precipitation received over an extended period, usually a season or more in length. Drought monitoring is an essential component of drought risk management. It is normally performed using vario...

In some statistical process control applications, the process data are not Normally distributed and characterized by the combination of both variable and attributes quality characteristics. Despite different methods which are proposed separately for monitoring multivariate and multi-attribute processes, only few methods are available in the literature for monitoring multivariate-attribute proce...
