Abstract
Metacomputing is one of the most interesting evolutions of Parallel Processing. A complete environment for metacomputing should have tools for monitoring applications that can gather information both on the applications being executed and on the processors that they are executed on. Such data can be used to manage statistics, for debugging, and for tuning meta-applications. This paper describes an integration between WAMM, a visual interface for the configuration and management of a metacomputer, and PVaniM, a system that provides support for displaying the behaviour of PVM applications.
