I´m a french student of the INSA-Lyon Scientific and Technical University. I´m currently studying in Madrid. To conclude my studies, I have to do a 6 months final year study project. During this period, I would like to work for SSI Linux. I have seen that the "performance and monitoring tools" project is available, I think this part could be interesting to get involve in your project: As I´m a novice in the cluster area, I belive that it could be a good introduction. I would like to know if this project has been affected since september and if no, if I can work on it. I think my first task in this project would be to write a TODO list. So, I would like to know what kind of tool would be better for SSI Linux: is it a "real time" monitoring system which gives instant information such as the load of each nodes, an application which allows to follow the life of the tasks on the cluster... ? Regards, Tangui |

Tangui, It would be wonderful to have you working on SSI Cluster project. As far as I know, little has been in the area of performance to date, so any contribution would be great. I'm not sure exactly what is needed, but am happy to think more about it with you. Some getting started activities and areas to think about might be: a. what have others done (open source and not) in the area of performance tools for clusters. A web search might be useful. b. understanding somewhat what the SSI cluster is and how it works c. some performance-related possibilities: i. "real-time", as you mentioned, statistics on loads, idle time, memory, i/o, interconnect traffice, other networking traffic paing/swap ii. historical statistics on what the systems have been doing (this can be very useful in determining whether a particular application configuration is better than another one) iii. interconnect message traffic monitoring to see the effect of moving processes around (real time and/or historical) iv. process specific performance numbers, to help in determining the ideal organization of the process/application and the resources it uses. v. resource monitoring (filesystem, ipc objects, ...) just some random thoughts to get you thinking, bruce [Charset iso-8859-1 unsupported, filtering to ASCII...] > I_m a french student of the INSA-Lyon Scientific and Technical University. > I_m currently studying in Madrid.
