Abstract

Characterization of high-performance computing applications often has to be done without access to the source code. Computer architects, therefore, have a narrowed choice of instrumentation tools. Moreover, potentially large amount of collected data can prohibit creating a full timestamped event trace and analyzing it post-mortem. This paper describes Limpio --- a LIghtweight MPI instrumentatiOn framework, that allows dynamic instrumentation of user-selected MPI calls, and customization of data gathering, analysis and visualization.

Efficient Java exception handling in just-in-time compilation
Research Articles

Java uses exceptions to provide elegant error handling capabilities during program execution. However, the presence of exception handlers complicates the job of the just-in-time (JIT) compiler, while exceptions are rarely used in most programs. This ...

Exception handling mechanisms provided by sequential programming languages rely upon the call stack for the propagation of exceptions. Unfortunately, this is inadequate for handling exceptions thrown from asynchronously invoked methods. For instance, ...
