A Monitoring System for a Transputer-Based Multiprocessor
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a distributed performance monitoring system for a transputer-based multiprocessor, Hathi-2. The monitoring system allows the programmer to measure how well a parallel program utilizes the hardware resources of the multiprocessor system, i.e., the processor CPU’s and communication links, during program execution. It can be used for identifying performance bottlenecks in parallel programs. We present the different components of the system, together with a case study where we monitor an existing application program.

OCCAM- and C-Based Multiprocessor Environments for UNIX Cluster
Two new multiprocessor environments, OCCNIX and CNIX, are described in this paper. These are scalable modular software systems that enable parallel programs to run on clusters of UNIX workstations. The environments unite the paradigms of multiprocessing and multithreading into a single programming model. OCCNIX executes OCCAM programs, using linked binary level interpreters to form a virtual Tr...
متن کاملMillipede - A Programming Environment providing Graphical Support for Parallel Programming
This paper describes Millipede, a graphical programming environment for a Transputer-based MIMD multiprocessor system. The environment provides a visual extension to the CSP/Occam programming model. Parallel programs are described as graphs, where the nodes denote parallel processes and the edges denote communication channels between processes. Graphs are constructed using a hierarchical graph ...

متن کاملGeographical Information System Application of Multiprocessor Multidisk Image Servers
This contribution analyses the behavior of two kinds of multiprocessor multidisk storage server architectures for a data-intensive application, namely for spatial queries in geographical information systems (GIS). The two kinds of servers are:: (1) a workstation cluster architecture with multiple processors, multiple disks, and a shared-bus shared-memory architecture ; (2) a distributed-memory ...
