Monit: a performance monitoring tool for parallel and pseudo-parallel programs
Teemu Kerola, Herb Schwetman · 1987
This paper describes a performance monitoring system, Monit, developed for performance evaluation of parallel systems. Monit uses trace files that are generated during the execution of parallel programs. Monit analyzes these trace files and produces time-oriented graphs of resource usage and system queues. Users interactively select the displayed items, resolution, and time intervals of interest. The current implementation of Monit is for SUN-3 workstation, but the program is easily adaptable to other devices.
