TITLE
Monitoring Object Library Usage and Changes
ABSTRACT
The NASA Ames Numerical Aerodynamic Simulation program / Aeronautics
Consolidated Supercomputing Facility (NAS/ACSF) supercomputing center
services over 1600 users, and has numerous analysts with root access.
Several tools have been developed to monitor object library usage and
changes. Some of the tools do "non-invasive" monitoring and other
tools implement run-time logging even for object-only libraries. The
run-time logging identifies who, when, and what is being used. The
benefits are that real usage can be measured, unused libraries can be
discontinued, training and optimization efforts can be focused at those
numerical methods that are actually used. An overview of the tools
will be given and the results will be discussed.
