  • Enhanced performance monitoring method and apparatus
    Patent number: 9250826
    Abstract: A high-performance-computer system includes a statistics accumulation apparatus configured to efficiently accumulate system performance data from a variety of system components, and periodically write such data to processor local memory for efficient subsequent software processing of the thus acquired data, thereby reducing the system hardware and software overhead needed for collection of such data as compared to prior art systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Apparatus and Methods for Providing Performance Data of Nodes in a High Performance Computing System
    Publication number: 20140280663
    Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method of providing performance data for nodes in a high performance computing system receives a request for performance data for a node in the high performance computing system. According to the method, a driver in kernel space causes the performance data for the node to be stored in kernel memory. The kernel memory is accessible in userspace via a first system file.
