Real-Time Performance Monitoring, Adaptive Control, and Interactive Steering of Computational Grids
Jeffrey S. Vetter, Daniel A. Reed · The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications · 2000
To support creation of nimble applications for computational grids, the authors believe one must eliminate the barrier that separates program creation from execution and post-mortem optimization. This paper outlines an approach to dynamic performance adaptation and distributed optimization in the grid environment based on a suite of performance instrumentation, analysis, and presentation tools that includes distributed performance sensors and resource policy actuators, fuzzy logic rule bases for adaptive control, and immersive visualization systems for real-time visualization and direct manipulation of software behavior.
