Title: Exploring Performances of Distributed Applications on Clusters via Tracing and Pajé Visualization
Speaker: Jean-Marc Vincent, Université Joseph Fourier ID-IMAG
Abstract :
An approach is presented to help programmers understand the behavior of distributed applications executed on clusters. It is based on tracing execution and trace based visualization. This approach needs to be applied coherently at several abstraction levels from the runtime system to the high level programming language.
Pajé software tools allows a dynamic browsing of traces of distributed applications according to a programming model. Illustration of pattern analysis are given in several contexts : cluster supervision, Java distributed applications, MPI parallel programs.

Title: CORBA benchmarks?
Speaker: Philippe Merle, LIFL
Abstract:
Title and abstract to be provided but Philippe has results showing that components are not the expensive, which is good!

Title: CLIF - work in progress in 2004
Speaker: Bruno Dillenseger, France Telecom R&D
Abstract:
Current CLIF developments and perspectives until end of 2004.

Title: Regression Benchmarking Framework Architecture
Speaker: Petr Tuma, Charles University
Abstract:
A first-stage design of a regression benchmarking framework will be presented. The focus of the design is on flexibility, as the framework must support various benchmarks on various platforms, and that both for existing as well as future ones.

Title: Writing System Probes on Various Platforms
Speaker: Petr Tuma, Charles University
Abstract:
A brief overview of the type of information that can be obtained from various operating system platforms with regard to resource usage and other useful data that a benchmark should generally monitor. Focus will be put on the Linux, Solaris and Windows operating system platforms, attention will be paid especially to the disruption that the gathering of this information can represent to a benchmark.

Title: Capturing benchmarking environments and multi-level monitoring
Speaker: Emmanuel Cecchet, INRIA
Abstract:
In this talk, we will present our current developments to automatically capture the system environment used for benchmarks and how to map this with monitoring information. We will also present a brief status of LeWYS, the ObjectWeb monitoring framework, the available probes, channels and ongoing work on monitoring repositories. Various examples of mixed online/offline and multi-level monitoring will also be given to show the flexibility of the framework.

Hope to see you there,
