Distributed memory systems performance evaluation using synthetic parametric workloads

The primary constraining factor of the overall performance of a multicomputer system is communication delay. In this work a performance evaluation framework for a distributed memory parallel computer system is investigated. The evaluation is carried out ...

A general method of constructing a drive workload representative of a real workload is described. The real workload is characterized by its demands on the various system resources. These characteristics of the real workload are obtained from the system ...

Three purposes of performance evaluation and monitoring are reviewed along with eight techniques for evaluation. An earlier proposal for using synthetic programs for the purpose of selection evaluation is discussed. It is suggested that a set of ...
