Performance observability

Performance observability is the ability to accurately capture, analyze, and present (collectively observe) information about the performance of a computer system. Advances in computer systems design, particularly with respect to parallel processing and supercomputers, have brought a crisis in performance observation--computer systems technology is outpacing the tools to understand the performance behavior of and to operate the machines near the high-end of their performance range. In this thesis, we study the performance observability problem with emphasis on the practical design, development, and use of tools for performance measurement, analysis, and visualization.
