SGI Performance Software?

Post by Mike McGunigal » Wed, 09 Jul 1997 04:00:00


We are hunting for performance monitoring and reporting software
for SGI's. HP has a product called Glance/Perf that can be used to
compile reports on CPU utilization, disk performance, and networking
performance.

As we searched through SGI software we did find Performance Co-Pilot.
It even has add-on packages that would monitor Web server activity
and DBMS activity and query response time.

Is there third-party software for performance monitoring on SGI's?

Thanks,

It's probally too basic for your needs, but gr_osview comes
with the system and does monitor (but not log, AFAIK.  
Maybe it does, gkech it's man page)

type "gr_osview -a"

Drop the "gr_" - `osview' tells you a lot more stuff than the graphical
one. Pretty sure there's no logging thought.

Also, see if your system has `sar'

Don't suppose any mentioned so far are (since they all come with the
bog-standard IRIX).

1. SGI Shatters World Performance Record - USING LINUX!!!

+SGI Shatters World Performance Record
+
+Company Attains Linear Scalability on 64-Processor Itanium 2-based
+System Running Linux
+
+INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM, SAN JOSE, Calif., (September 9, 2002)--At
+the Fall 2002 Intel Developers' Forum, SGI (NYSE: SGI) today
+announced a breakthrough in advancing high-performance, scalable
+systems based on the Intel? Itanium? 2 processor and the Linux?
+operating system for high-end technical application users.
+
+SGI has attained linear scalability on a 64-processor Itanium
+2-based system and world-record results among microprocessor-based
+systems on the STREAM Triad benchmark, which tests memory
+bandwidth performance. Demonstrating linear scalability from 2 to
+64 processors, the Itanium 2-based prototype system from SGI
+exceeded 120GB per second on a single system image. This result,
+derived from initial internal testing, marks a significant
+milestone for the industry: Early Itanium 2-based SGI? systems
+built on the innovative SGI? NUMAflexTM shared-memory
+architecture, have proven that Linux can scale well beyond the
+perceived limitation of eight processors in a single system image.

Another Myth Shattered!

+
+Additionally, results show that the upcoming Itanium 2-based SGI
+system has not only outperformed the IBM? eServer p690 and Sun
+Microsystems Sun FireTM 15K high-end microprocessor-based systems,
+it has also surpassed memory bandwidth performance on the CRAY
+C90TM, the CRAY SV1TM and the Fujitsu VPP5000 CMOS vector-based
+supercomputers.
+
+SGI recently announced its expanded business strategy in which it
+will incorporate systems based on the Itanium processor family
+running Linux into its established line of high-performance
+computing systems. By utilizing Intel components within its
+NUMAflex modular architecture, SGI positions itself as the lead
+source for scalable Linux systems.
