....phase and transitional phase. A stationary phase is a contiguous subsequence of an execution profile which has roughly uniform processor activity. A transitional phase is a contiguous subseuqence of an execution profile which constitutes an abrupt change in processor activity [Carlson92; Carlson94] Three special types of stationary phases are of interest. They are: 1) a single processor is utilized; 2) all processors are utilized; 3) less than all, but more than one processor is utilized. It is quite clear that identification and analysis of phases are important both in workload ....

....are of interest. They are: 1) a single processor is utilized; 2) all processors are utilized; 3) less than all, but more than one processor is utilized. It is quite clear that identification and analysis of phases are important both in workload characterization and in scalability analysis. Carlson94] proposes an algorithm for off line detection of phases, and [Carlson92] describes three families of methods for smoothing execution profile data. They are useful in automatically detecting phases in execution profiles. The execution signature [Dowdy88; Leuze89; Dowdy94] is defined as the ....
