Abstract
We present a toolkit of monitoring and performance analysis facilities together with sample monitoring sessions and results of performance analysis of three parallel programs running under PVM on networked workstations. A trace file collected by Tape/PVM is converted into SDDF metaformat and then it is visualized with Pablo based tool. Performance is analyzed also with a set of metrics.
Keywords
Parallel Program Time Usage Trace Data Trace File Performance Analysis Tool
These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
