In this work, a two prong dynamic paging activity data analysis is considered.The rrskyline analysis" studies how similar/dissimilar is the paging activity oj different node programs in SPMD execution mode.This analysis is done by determining the rate at which different events Deem", by isolating the peaks of activity from the background, and by correlating the time of occurrence and the amplitude of these peaks.The second type oJ analysis is the "cumulative profile," used La determine the total load due to paging activity on the communication and the riG sub-system.Finally, we "eport the 1•esult oj analysis of the paging activities oj a representative class oj applications, the NAS parallel benchmark progmms.
