What performance information would application developers need to know to tune codes that use your X-Stack project's software?
What would a systems software developer need to know to tune the performance of your software stack?
What information should a performance tool gather from each level in your software stack?
What performance information can/does each level of your software stack maintain for inspection by performance tools?
What abstractions does your runtime stack use for parallelism?
What information would your software stack need to maintain in order to measure per-thread or per-task, performance? Can this information be accessed safely from a signal handler? Could a performance tool register its own tasks to monitor the performance of the runtime?
What information would your software stack need to maintain in order to measure per-thread or per-task, performance? Can this information be accessed safely from a signal handler? Could a performance tool register its own tasks to monitor the performance of various layers in your software stack?
What kinds of performance problems do you foresee analyzing using post-mortem analysis?
What kinds of performance problems do you foresee analyzing using runtime analysis? What interfaces will be needed to gather the necessary information?
What control interfaces will be necessary to enable runtime adaptation based on performance measurements?
There is a gap between the application-level and implementation-level views of programming languages and DSLs. What information should your software layers (compiler and runtime system) provide to attribute implementation-level performance measurement data to an application-level view?
What kind of visualization and presentation support do you want from performance tools? Do you envision any IDE integration for performance tools?
List the performance challenges that you think next generation programming languages and models will face.
