Performance measurement and modeling of component applications in a high performance computing environment : a case study.
Robert Armstrong, Jaideep Ray, Allen Malony, Sameer Shende, Nicholas Trebon · 2003
We present a case study of performance measurement and modeling of a CCA (Common Component Architecture) component-based application in a high performance computing environment. We explore issues peculiar to component-based HPC applications and propose a performance measurement infrastructure for HPC based loosely on recent work done for Grid environments. A prototypical implementation of the infrastructure is used to collect data for a three components in a scientific application and construct performance models for two of them. Both computational and message-passing performance are addressed.
