Abstract: Software based instrumentation is frequently used to measure the performance of parallel and
distributed programs. However, using software instrumentation can introduce serious perturbation
of the program being measured. In this paper we present a new data collection cost system that provides
programmers with feedback about the impact data collection is having on their application. In
addition, we introduce a technique that permits programmers to define the perturbation their application
can... (Update)

...in Section 3.D.3. It is possible that adding timing statements to a code in order to benchmark sections of it may perturb the code [MRW92, HM96] If a large perturbation is indicated, the input parameter for this value should be tagged with meta data indicating the possible...
