[comp.parallel] Parallel traces available ?

puma@ztivax.siemens.com (Dr Holm Hofestaedt) (05/24/91)

Dear netters:

We are wondering whether there are some parallel traces available
somewhere. We intend to use them to simulate/evaluate different
(distributed) shared memory architectures.

I am aware of some application programs that can be used for such
evaluations, e.g., the Stanford SPLASH suite and VM_pRAY from IRISA,
Rennes, France. (These are available via ftp. If you are interested,
I can give you the addresses.)

I have further noticed that there is some effort going on to come up
with a standardized parallel trace format. There was a birds-of-a-
feather session on this topic at Supercomputing'90. (Reports from
this meeting are available via ftp as well.)

Has this or other effort resulted in parallel traces becoming 
available on a broader basis?

Anyone who can shed some light on parallel traces, please e-mail
directly to one of the addresses given below. I'll be glad to 
summarize to the net, if there is sufficient interest.

Thanks in advance.

   Hermann
