Monitoring Environment for Parallel and Distributed Programs
(BMBF-WTZ Project with Poland)
Project Goal
The project aims at developing a universal monitoring environment for
parallel and distributed programs, and at releasing this environment to
the research community as a basis for the development of improved,
portable programming tools. The basis for the project is the monitoring
system OCM developed by
LRR-TUM and extended by ICS-AGH.
The project is funded by the German and Polish Ministery for Research,
respectively, in the framework of the WTZ programme (scientific
and technical collaboration between Germany and Eastern Europe).
Project Group
Project Schedule and Milestones
- Sept. 2002 - Feb. 2003 Enhance the configurability
and portability of the OCM
- Make the OCM core independent of specific communication
libraries.
- Encapsulate the support for PVM and MPI into dynamically
loadable modules.
- Provide support for configuring the OCM w.r.t. different
operating systems and hardware.
- Dec. 2002 - Feb. 2003 Simplify the usage of the
OMIS interface (Dec. 2002 - June 2002)
- March 2003 - Aug. 2003 Methods for increasing the
scalability of the OCM
- Evaluate alternatives for distributing and replicating the
OCM's components.
- Examine the use of multi-threading for the event and action
processing inside the OCM.
- March 2003 - Feb. 2004 New monitoring techniques for
multi-threaded applications
- Review and evaluate existing support in operating systems and
thread libraries.
- Define an interface between the monitor process and the
application monitor.
- Design and implement the application monitor; examine its
integration into the OCM.
- Practical evaluation
- Dec. 2003 - Aug. 2004 Examine the benefits and
problems of using object oriented methods
- for the definition of the monitoring interface,
- for the implementation of the monitoring system.
