For many performance analysis problems, the ability to reason across traces is invaluable. However, due to non-determinism in the OS and virtual machines, even two identical runs ...
Abstract. Current hardware trends place increasing pressure on programmers and tools to optimize scientific code. Numerous tools and techniques exist, but no single tool is a pana...
We present a load generator and performance measurement tool (AutoPerf ) which requires minimal input and configuration from the user, and produces a comprehensive capacity analys...
Existing metrics for dynamic optimisation are designed primarily to rate an algorithm’s overall performance. These metrics show whether one algorithm is better than another, but...
Stochastic performance models provide a powerful way of capturing and analysing the behaviour of complex concurrent systems. Traditionally, performance measures for these models ar...
