ANALYSEVERFAHREN DER LEISTUNGEN EINER SOFTWAREANWENDUNG IN EINER SERVERFARM DURCH EXTRAPOLATION

摘要

This method (100) of analyzing the performance of a software application, by its parallel execution in a cluster of reference servers, comprises: a first execution (104) involving exchanges of useful data between computation and storage nodes of the cluster of servers produced by an interconnection network according to a predetermined protocol by encapsulating this useful data in messages whose size is predetermined; a second execution (108) involving the same exchanges of useful data between the same nodes for computing and storing the cluster of servers produced by the same interconnection network according to the same protocol but with a different predetermined message size; an extrapolation (114) of the performance of the software application comprising a simulation (116) of variation of a bandwidth of the interconnection network based on the predetermined size difference of the messages exchanged during the first and second executions (104, 108 ).
