An approach to characterization of parallel applications for DSM systems

摘要

This paper concentrates on the problem of defining and measuring parameters that characterize behavior of parallel applications targeted to DSM (Distributed Shared Memory) systems.Results are based on the SPLASH-2 application suite.The developed characterization tool Scopa,along with applied simulation environment Limes,are publicly available,and appropriate for performing measurements on other parallel applications,as well.Only a short summary is presented here; for details,the interested reader is referred to the full-blown technical report given in the list of references.
