Multimedia applications have timing requirements that cannot generally be satisfied using
time-sharing scheduling algorithms and system structures. To effectively support these types …

Ensuring the correctness of software applications is a difficult task. The area of runtime
verification, which combines the approaches of formal verification and testing, offers a …

A method for analyzing the functional behavior and the performance of programs in
distributed systems is presented. We use hybrid monitoring, a technique which combines …

This paper presents an approach for rapidly adjustable embedded trace online monitoring of
multi-core systems, called RETOM. Today, most commercial multi-core SoCs provide …

In this tutorial, we present a comprehensive approach to non-intrusive monitoring of multi-
core processors. Modern multi-core processors come with trace-ports that provide a highly …

Performance observability is the ability to accurately capture, analyze, and present
(collectively observe) information about the performance of a computer system. Advances in …

A family of monitoring facilities is proposed which are used in combination, eg a breakpoint
monitor used for debugging purposes, a mailbox monitor for analysis of synchronization …

This paper describes a measurement center for the NBSNET, a distributed, broadcast local
area computer network (LAN) at the National Bureau of Standards. A LAN measurement …

The performance of parallel and distributed systems depends significantly on how the
programs' execution is dynamically organized. Therefore, performance evaluation and …

The performance of parallel and distributed systems is highly dependent on the degree of
parallelism and the efficiency of their communication systems. Both, efficiently parallelizing …
