Healey, Seon Wook Kim,Presented By: Jaydeep Marathe,04/16/2003,NC State University,2,The Basic Idea ,Instrumentation needed to collect collect performance
2、data.Static (compile or link time) instrumentationDynamic (run-time) instrumentation,Feasibility study for dynamic instrumentation and dynamically controlled static instrumentation.,Paper asserts: “Dynamic methods better than static instrumentation withrespect to execution overhead & trace data size

6、ppm, Sweep3d (MPI), Umt98 (OpenMP)IBM Power3 144-node system, each node has 8 Power3 processors. Measure execution times with 5 scenarios:,FULL: Full Static Instrumentation +Trace loggingFULL-OFF: Full Static Instrumentation, no trace loggingSUBSET: Full Static Instrumentation, only selected functio
7、ns active.None: No instrumentation (Baseline)Dynamic: Dynamically inserted instrumentation.,04/16/2003,NC State University,7,Results: Smg98,04/16/2003,NC State University,8,Results: Smg98 (contd),Static approach (SUBSET), more expensive than dynamic insertion (DYNAMIC).,WHY ? - No explanation in pap
8、er.,04/16/2003,NC State University,9,Results: Smg98 Another interpretation,Observe values for FULL, FULL-OFF,SUBSET. Very Close !,Compiler instrumentation inefficiency skews results ! dynamic approach looks better.,04/16/2003,NC State University,10,Time to create and instrument,Significant cost, but
