A MODIFIED ENTROPY ALGORITHM FOR PARALLEL MONITORING

Abstract

Performance evaluation and debugging of parallel systems rely on instrumentation that

traces or profiles program behavior. Software instrumentation that is statically inserted into

the program source, run-time libraries, or Operating System can gather redundant

information. The overhead incurred during run time to process and record this information

can increase the execution time of the program and can even change program behavior.

Static configuration of instrumentation, although simple, is not in general efficient in terms

of information gathered to overhead introduced. Information content of instrumentation

data typically depends on uncertainty of associated event to occur. This paper presents a

dynamic algorithm for software instrumentation to measure the amount of information

content of instrumentation data to be collected. This makes intelligent data collection for a

software monitoring system possible. The algorithm can be used in software

instrumentation to make monitoring system less intrusive looking at the information

content of instrumentation data before collected.
