Method for analyzing the performance of a software application on a server cluster by extrapolation

摘要

This method (100) for 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 payload data between computing and storage nodes. the cluster of servers produced by an interconnection network according to a predetermined protocol by encapsulating these payload data in messages whose size is predetermined; a second execution (108) involving the same exchanges of useful data between the same computing and storage nodes of the server cluster carried out by the same interconnection network according to the same protocol but with a predetermined size of the different messages; 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 difference in predetermined size of the messages exchanged during the first and second executions (104, 108 ).
