Performance of a software system is the result of many interacting factors. This paper
describes a rule-based framework to identify root causes of performance limits, to untangle …

Audio fingerprints (AFP's) are compact, content-based representations of audio signals used
to measure distances among them. An AFP has to be small, fast computed and robust to …

This article presents a class library for detecting typical performance problems in event
traces of MPI applications. The library is implemented using the powerful high-level trace …

The integration of scalable performance analysis in parallel development tools is difficult.
The potential size of data sets and the need to compare results from multiple experiments …

In recent years, several frameworks have been introduced to facilitate massively-parallel
data processing on shared-nothing architectures like compute clouds. While these …

This work presents a new approach to the relation between theoretical complexity models
and performance analysis and tuning. The analysis of an algorithm produces a complexity …

Performance problems such as high response times in software applications have a
significant effect on the customer's satisfaction. However, detecting performance problems is …

In this paper we present JavaPSL, a P erformance S pecification L anguage that can be
used for a systematic and portable specification of large classes of experiment-related data …

We introduce Aksum, a novel system for performance analysis that helps programmers to
locate and to understand performance problems in message passing, shared memory and …

Performance analysis is an important step in tuning performance critical applications. It is a
cyclic process of measuring and analyzing performance data which is driven by the …
