COMPUTER SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF AN APPLICATION MAKING COMMUNICATION FUNCTION CALLS BETWEEN SEVERAL PROCESSES.

摘要

The invention relates to a computerized system and method for analyzing the performance of an application carrying out communication function calls between several processes, finding in particular an application for the analysis of performance and the diagramming of inter-process communication in a computer application in a parallel and distributed computing environment. The method comprises a step of collecting information relating to the function calls, a call or a succession of at least two calls forming a pattern 7 to 11, and a step of compressing the information collected / The compression step comprises: - a step of detecting, from the collected information, patterns 7 to 11 and successions of patterns 7 to 11, to form a grammar in which each pattern 7 to 11 and each succession of patterns 7 to 11 are identified by an identifier unique, - a detection step, in the grammar, of the repetition of patterns 7 to 11 and of successions of patterns 7 to 11, - a step of generating a compressed trace file in which the patterns 7 to 11 are stored and the successions of patterns 7 to 11, as well as their respective numbers of repetitions 12 to 15.
