SIMPLE: A Performance Evaluation Tool Environment for Parallel and Distributed Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes SIMPLE: a performance evaluation tool environment for parallel and distributed systems based on monitoring of concurrent interdependent activities. We emphasize the tool environment as a prerequisite for successful performance evaluation. All tools use the data access interface TDL/POET which can decode measured data of arbitrary structure, format and representation. This makes the evaluation independent of the monitor device(s) used and the system monitored. It also provides a problem-oriented way of accessing the data. Therefore it is very easy to adapt SIMPLE to any kind of measured data and to understand the evaluation results.

MENTOR (Model based EveNt Trace analysis suppORt system) is an expert system which assists in event trace evaluation of parallel and distributed programs by incorporating knowledge about the program under investigation into the existing event trace analysis environment SIMPLE. This knowledge is derived from stochastic graph models created with the modeling tool PEPP.
متن کاملTopic 2 Performance Prediction and Evaluation
Parallel algorithms used to be evaluated using some version of the PRAM model where actual execution platforms are abstracted as ideal parallel machines. On the other hand the performance of hardware is often given in terms of individual pick performances which can be useless for actual applications. The real challenge for performance predictions and evaluations of parallel systems is to combin...
