Abstract
This paper focuses on the opportunities and costs of on-line steering as
applied to a substantial parallel application. We demonstrate potential
performance improvements through the use of the Falcon system, an experimental
system for the on-line monitoring and steering of parallel programs. The
visual presentation of program output along with animated displays of program
performance information via Falcon's monitoring system enables the on-line
capture, analysis, and display of program information required for program
steering. Falcon also provides the mechanisms for the manipulations of
program state that accomplish this online steering.
