In search of a standards-based approach to hybrid performance monitoring

摘要

SPItech (Standard Performance monitoring Instrumentation technology), a new multicomputer performance monitoring system, employs portable instrumentation technology and bridges the gap between emerging standard interfaces. Facilities support application-specific trace events, breakpoint-style debugging, online transmission of selected data, and dynamic acquisition-rate control. SPItech includes the SuperMSparc multicomputer and its associated performance monitoring hardware and software.
