Abstract

The EU CrossGrid project aims at widening the use of Grid technology for interactive applications. In order to meet the efficiency constraints of these applications, a Grid applications performance analysis tool is developed that not only allows the standard measurements, but also supports application-specific metrics and other high-level measurements. The article outlines the projected functionality of this tool, as well as design considerations and a use case.

Partly funded by the European Commission, project IST-2001-32243, CrossGrid
