Abstract: In an multiprocessor environment, with applications running concurrently, the scheduler is responsible for optimizing the system utilization. It distributes processors among applications according to a scheduling policy. Some policies allocate processors taking into account information such as the expected speedup. This information is usually provided by the users to the scheduler as an a priori input, and it is obtained by running the applications several times with different input sets. (Update)

.... performance requires the monitorization of certain parameters, such as for instance, subroutine calls, hardware counters, or CPU usage [Corbalan99]. During the execution of the application the values of these parameters represent a data stream to the measuring tool. The...

...information since characteristics such as the speedup depend on run time parameters i.e. the particular memory mapping, etc. In [Corbalan99] we propose a new approach to dynamically calculate the speedup of parallel applications based on the relationship between an...
