A performance monitor is indispensable to trace and evaluate performance of a program under distributed processing environment. A performance monitor il classified as off-line and on-line according to its output method. An off-line performance monitor analyzes its performance after a program terminates, and an on-line performance monitor analyzes its one while a program runs. Therefore, the on-line function is essential to analyzing and debugging the program fast. JaNeC, distributed processing environment that is implemented in Java, contains an off-line performance monitor for this. However, this performance monitor may not analyze the program running on JaNeC efficiently. Consequently, this paper explains that an on-line performance monitor is designed and implemented for fast analysis and debugging of the program running on JaNeC. This on-line performance monitor is designed to minimize effects on a program to analyze, and provides various forms of graphic output, to analyze the program effectively. In addition, even after a program terminates, it provides interface with the off-line performance monitor, to analyze again.

This paper describes the design and test of an on-line non-invasive network performance monitor (hardware portion) for the SPAX parallel computer. The SPAX parallel computer supports up to 256 intel P6 processors with 4 P6 processors constituting a processign node. The nodes are interconnected with a dual two-level crossbar network calle dXcent-net. Since the performance of the SPAX parallel computer is highly dependent on the proper and efficient operation of the network, an on-line non-invasive network performance monitor (with hardware components) has been developed to aid in the monitoring and tunign of the Xcent-net. Successful testing of a prototype node monitor board and PC interface system shows that our monitor design provides a low-cost practical solution to this problem.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between clinical balance scales and Balance Performance Monitor parameters in patient with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Methods : Twenty AIS subjects (age, $14.26{\pm}1.93yrs$; height, $160.56{\pm}7.98cm$; weight, $47.54{\pm}6.94kg$)were participated in this study. Postural sway(mean balance, sway angle, sway area, sway path, maximal sway velocity) were were evaluated by balance performance monitor. Measurements for clinical balance scales were Functional reach test (both side), the Lateral reach test (both side) and One leg standing test (both legs). Results : The results were as follows. There were positive strong correlation between major curve direction and left-right sway angle, sway path, maximal sway velocity. There were negative strong correlation between the functional reach and left-right sway angle, sway area, sway path, maximal sway velocity. And the lateral reach were also showed negative strong correlation parameters of balance performance monitor. One leg standing were negatively correlated with left-right sway angle, sway path, maximal sway velocity. Conclusion : The clinical balance scales will be useful tools for balance measurements, and basic tools for clinical setting for patient with AIS.

Multi-core system is becoming more general with development of microprocessors. Due to this change in performance improvement paradigm, switching conventional single thread applications with multi thread applications. Performance monitoring tools are used to optimize application performance because of complexity in development of multi thread applications. Conventional performance monitoring tools are focused on performance itself rather than user friendliness or real-time support. Real-time performance monitor identify the problem while multi-threaded applications should be performed as well as check real-time operating status of the application. So it can be used as an effective tool compared to non-real-time performance monitor that only with simple performance indicators to find the cause of the problem. In this paper, we propose RMPM(Real-time Multi-core Performance Monitor) which is real-time performance monitoring tool for multi-core system. Observation period is optimized by comparing relation between overhead due to performance evaluation period and accuracy. Our performance monitor shows not only amount of CPU usage of whole system, memory usage, network usage but also aspect of overhead distribution per thread of an application.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the computer monitors used for analysis and interpretation of digital radiographs within the clinics of the Oral Health Centre of Western Australia. Materials and Methods: In total, 135 computer monitors(3 brands, 6 models) were assessed by analysing the same radiographic image of a combined 13-step aluminium step wedge and the Artinis CDDent 1.0^® (Artinis Medical Systems B.V.^®, Elst, the Netherlands) test object. The number of steps and cylindrical objects observed on each monitor was recorded along with the monitor's make, model, position relative to the researcher's eye level, and proximity to the nearest window. The number of window panels blocked by blinds, the outside weather conditions, and the number of ceiling lights over the surgical suite/cubicle were also recorded. MedCalc^® version 19.2.1 (MedCalc Software Ltd^®, Ostend, Belgium, https://www.medcalc.org; 2020) was used for statistical analyses(Kruskal-Wallis test and stepwise regression analysis). The level of significance was set at P<0.05. Results: Stepwise regression analysis showed that only the monitor brand and proximity of the monitor to a window had a significant impact on the monitor's performance (P<0.05). The Kruskal-Wallis test showed significant differences (P<0.05) in monitor performance for all variables investigated, except for the weather and the clinic in which the monitors were placed. Conclusion: The vast performance variation present between computer monitors implies the need for a review of monitor selection, calibration, and viewing conditions.

This paper describes the design and implementation of performance monitor which can be used at SPAX that is developed to TICOM IV. SPAX has a hierarchical structure, at which nodes which have a local memory, are connected to lnterconnect network and constructed to clusters. So, to do effectivel performance monitorng at SPAX, new monitor is designed, which can monitor the state of node, cluster, and total system of SPAX.

In this paper, we present a performance monitor to trace and evaluate the performance of programs running on networked computers. The performance monitor of the JaNeC is online/batch as well as event/time driven. Since it is implemented with the Java programming language, it provides us with high portability among heterogeneous computer systems, and friendly graphical user interface. This performance monitor consists of various views such as 'Task/Event Filter' and 'TimeLine', 'Task View', 'Task Hoistory', 'Message Passing View', 'Host Cpu View', which allow the user to easily analyze event and time during the program execution.

Generally, a performance management consists of the iterative process of performance monitoring, performance analysis, and performance tuning. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of performance monitor and performance tuner which can be used on the top of SPAX, also known as TICOM IV. SPAX has a hierarchical structure. All nodes, each of which has a local memory, are connected to the interconnection network and constructed to form clusters. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new performance monitor reflecting the underlying hierarchical structure of SPAX, to implement performance monitoring more effectively. Implemented performance monitor can monitor the state of nodes, clusters, and total system of SPAX at realtime. And, implemented performance tuner can change the value of variables related to the performance of SPAX. System manager can perform an effective performance management by using the proposed performance management tools.

In this paper, we implement and verify performance monitor for parallel signal processing system, using DSP Starter Kit(DSK) of which the basic Processor is TMS302C6711 chip. The key ideas of this performance monitor is, using Real Time Data Exchange(RTDX) for the Purpose of real-time data transfer and function of DSP/BIOS, the ability to measure the Performance measure like DSP workload, memory usage, and bridge traffic. In the simulation, FFT, 2D FFT, Matrix Multiplication, and Fir Filter, which are widely used DSP algorithms, have been employed. Using performance monitor and Code Composer Studio from Texas Instrument(Tl) , the result has been recorded according to different frequencies, data sizes, and buffer sizes for a single wave file. The accuracy of our performance monitor has been verified by comparing those recorded results.
