Monitoring Concepts for Parallel Systems—An Evolution towards Interoperable Tool Environments

Abstract

For more than 10 years the research group at LRR-TUM investigates concepts for on-line monitoring techniques and designs and implements monitoring systems for various hardware and software architectures. From the early systems in the beginning of the 90's to the sophisticated interface-based approach for interoperable tools many milestones were reached that represented each a considerable progress in the field of tool construction. The paper gives an overview on the most important aspects of our work and pinpoints the increase of knowledge in this area.
