Performance Prediction in a Grid Environment

Abstract. Knowing the performance of an application in a Grid environment is an important issue in application development and for scheduling decisions. In this paper we describe the analysis and optimisation of a computation- and communication-intensive application from the field of bioinformatics, which was demonstrated at the HPCChallenge of Supercomputing 2002 at Baltimore. This application has been adapted to be run on an heterogeneous computational Grid by means of PACX-MPI. The analysis and optimisation is based on trace driven tools, mainly Dimemas and Vampir. All these methodologies and tools are being extended in the frame of the DAMIEN IST project.
