Petascale systems will present several new challenges to performance and correctness tools. Such machines may contain millions of cores, requiring that tools use scalable data structures and analysis algorithms to collect and to process application data. In addition, at such scales, each tool itself will become a large parallel application - already, debugging the full Blue-Gene/L (BG/L) installation...
Parallel performance monitoring extends parallel measurement systems with infrastructure and interfaces for online performance data access, communication, and analysis. At the same time it raises concerns for the impact on application execution from monitor overhead. The application monitoring scheme parameterized by performance events to monitor, access frequency and the type of data analysis operation...
Many tools that target parallel and distributed environments must co-locate a set of daemons with the distributed processes of the target application. However, efficient and portable deployment of these daemons on large scale systems is an unsolved problem. We overcome this gap with LaunchMON, a scalable, robust, portable, secure, and general purpose infrastructure for launching tool daemons. Its...
We present the Stack Trace Analysis Tool (STAT) to aid in debugging extreme-scale applications. STAT can reduce problem exploration spaces from thousands of processes to a few by sampling stack traces to form process equivalence classes, groups of processes exhibiting similar behavior. We can then use full-featured debuggers on representatives from these behavior classes for root cause analysis. STAT...
The primary approach used for reducing ''weeds'' in the native grasslands of the North American Great Plains is the application of a broadleaf-selective herbicide, which could have important implications to native plant and arthropod diversity. The objectives of this study were to identify the influence of herbicides on the forb and arthropod community composition, richness, and density, and determine...
The presence of a unique population of Lagoa crispata, puss caterpillar, in western Oklahoma is reported. A detailed microscopic examination shows the structure of the L. crispata spines resemble the type 4 spines described by [Kawamoto, F., Kumada, N., 1984. Biology and venoms of lepidoptera. In: Tu, A.T. (Ed.), Handbook of Natural Toxins, Insect Poisons, Allergens and other invertebrate venoms,...
