Infrastructure For Performance Tuning Mpi Applications, Kathryn Marie Mohror
Infrastructure For Performance Tuning Mpi Applications, Kathryn Marie Mohror
Dissertations and Theses
Clusters of workstations are becoming increasingly popular as a low-budget alternative for supercomputing power. In these systems,message-passing is often used to allow the separate nodes to act as a single computing machine. Programmers of such systems face a daunting challenge in understanding the performance bottlenecks of their applications. This is largely due to the vast amount of performance data that is collected, and the time and expertise necessary to use traditional parallel performance tools to analyze that data.
The goal of this project is to increase the level of performance tool support for message-passing application programmers on clusters of workstations. …

A Performance Study Of Lam And Mpich On An Smp Cluster, Brian Patrick Kearns
Dissertations and Theses
Many universities and research laboratories have developed low cost clusters, built from Commodity-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and running mostly free software. Research has shown that these types of systems are well-equipped to handle many problems requiring parallel processing. The primary components of clusters are hardware, networking, and system software. An important system software consideration for clusters is the choice of the message passing library.
MPI (Message Passing Interface) has arguably become the most widely used message passing library on clusters and other parallel architectures, due in part to its existence as a standard. As a standard, MPI is open for anyone …
Spider Iii: A Multi-Agent-Based Distributed Computing System, Jianhua Ruan, Han-Shen Yuh, Koping Wang
Spider Iii: A Multi-Agent-Based Distributed Computing System, Jianhua Ruan, Han-Shen Yuh, Koping Wang
Theses Digitization Project
The project, Spider III, presents architecture and protocol of a multi-agent-based internet distributed computing system, which provides a convenient development and execution environment for transparent task distribution, load balancing, and fault tolerance. Spider is an on going distribution computing project in the Department of Computer Science, California State University San Bernardino. It was first proposed as an object-oriented distributed system by Han-Sheng Yuh in his master's thesis in 1997. It has been further developed by Koping Wang in his master's project, of where he made large contribution and implemented the Spider II System.
Querying Geographically Dispersed, Heterogeneous Data Stores: The Pperfxchange Approach, Matthew Edward Colgrove
Querying Geographically Dispersed, Heterogeneous Data Stores: The Pperfxchange Approach, Matthew Edward Colgrove
Dissertations and Theses
This thesis details PPerfXchange’s approach for querying geographically dispersed heterogeneous data stores. While elements of PPerfXchange’s method have been implemented for other application areas, PPerfXchange shows how these elements can be applied to parallel performance analysis. The accomplishments of this thesis are:
- The design of an architecture for PPerfXchange, giving a uniform method to query heterogeneous data stores;
- A proof of concept prototype implementation of PPerfXchange including a partial implementation of an XQuery processor and a relational database virtual XML document; and
- Evaluation of PPerfXchange using example parallel performance analysis data.
