A Methodology for Oracle Selection of Monitors and Knobs for Configuring an HPC System running a Flood Management Application
This paper defines a methodology for the oracle selection of the monitors and
knobs to use to configure an HPC system running a scientific application while
satisfying the application's requirements and not violating any system
constraints. This methodology relies on a heuristic correlation analysis
between requirements, monitors and knobs to determine the minimum subset of
monitors to observe and knobs to explore, to determine the optimal system
configuration for the HPC application. At the end of this analysis, we reduce
an 11-dimensional space to a 3-dimensional space for monitors and a
6-dimensional space to a 3-dimensional space for knobs. This reduction shows
the potential and highlights the need for a realistic methodology to help
identify such minimum set of monitors and knobs
