Abstract
During the last decade, much research has been done to evolve cost-effective techniques for performance monitoring and analysis of applications running on conventional parallel systems. With the advent of technology, new Grid-based systems emerged by the end of the last decade, and received attention as useful environments for high-performance computing. The requirements for discovering new techniques for monitoring the Grid have also come to the front. The objective of this paper is to study the techniques used by tools targeting traditional parallel systems and highlight the requirements and techniques used for Grid monitoring. We present case studies of some representative tools to get an understanding of both paradigms.
