Abstract

The paper presents the concept of and insight into enhancing the portability and functionality of two performance measurement tools - PATOP and TATOO - in order to adapt them to work with message passing applications. We discuss the concepts of porting the tools to the OCM monitoring environment, the structure of the modified tools and the extensions made, as well as implementation issues.
