PACE: A Toolset to Investigate and Predict Performance in Parallel Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A toolset, PACE (PerforAnCE analysis environment) for predicting and analysing performance issues in parallel systems is presented here. In this toolset expert knowledge about performance evaluation techniques is not required as a prerequisite for its use. Instead, an intuitive approach is taken by describing the application under study in way that is accessible to the user. A modular approach is taken which permits separate descriptions of sub-tasks, parallelisation strategies, and platform descriptions to take place. PACE has been used to predict performance for number of applications on a number of different parallel platforms. Results to date have indicated that the predictions typically within 5-7% of actual measurements.

An Introduction to the Layered Characterisation for High Performance Systems
A toolset for performance analysis of parallel systems, PACE, is presented in this report. In this toolset expert knowledge about the performance evaluation techniques is not required as a prerequisite for the user. Instead a declarative approach to the performance study is taken by describing the application in a way that is both intuitive to the user, but can also be used to obtain performanc...

متن کاملA Parallel Genetic Algorithm Based Method for Feature Subset Selection in Intrusion Detection Systems
Intrusion detection systems are designed to provide security in computer networks, so that if the attacker crosses other security devices, they can detect and prevent the attack process. One of the most essential challenges in designing these systems is the so called curse of dimensionality. Therefore, in order to obtain satisfactory performance in these systems we have to take advantage of app...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Parallel Embedded Real Time Systems Based on Measurement and Visualization
This paper describes an approach to carry out performance analysis on systems which combine two major characteristics: real-time behaviour and parallel computational structure. It relies on a toolset composed of a monitoring system and a visualization tool. The steps to carry out performance analysis based on the toolset are clearly de ned, and they are explained by means of a case study. First...
