Performance Measurement and Modeling of Component Applications in a High Performance Computing Environment: A Case Study

摘要

We present a case study of performance measurement and modeling of a CCA (Common Component Architecture) component-based application in a high performance computing en- vironment. 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.
