Abstract
In this paper we describe the dproc (distributed /proc) kernel-level
mechanisms and abstractions, which provide the building blocks for the
implementation of efficient, cluster-wide, and application-specific
performance monitoring. Such monitoring functionality may be constructed at
any time, both before and during application invocation, and can include
dynamic run-time extensions. This paper (i) presents dproc's implementation in a Linux-based cluster of
SMP-machines, and (ii) evaluates its utility by construction of sample
monitoring functionality.
