CAMP: A Common API for Measuring Performance
Mark Gabel and Michael Haungs, California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
Abstract
Accurate performance testing of heterogeneous distributed systems,
such as those created using GRID technology, requires a consistent
method for retrieving system performance data from multiple platforms.
This paper presents CAMP: a low-level
platform independent performance data API designed for use with
distributed testing frameworks.
CAMP is not necessarily tied to the distributed testing task: it
provides a simple, low-level interface into operating system
performance data that can be used to build complex performance
measurement applications. This paper discusses CAMP's functionality
and implementation in detail. It also contains a detailed analysis of
the API's correctness, performance, and overhead.
