Abstract
Falcon is a system for on-line monitoring and steering of large-scale parallel
programs. The purpose of such interactive steering is to improve its
performance or to affect its execution behavior. The Falcon system is
composed of an application-specific on-line monitoring system, an interactive
steering mechanism, and a graphical display system. In this paper, we present
a framework of the Falcon system, its implementation, and evaluation of the
system performance. A complex sample application -- a molecular dynamics
simulation program (MD) -- is used to motivate the research as well as to
evaluate the performance of the Falcon system.
