MiSeRTrace - Kernel-level Request Tracing for Microservice Visibility
FOSS

PES University

Developed MiSeRTrace (MicroService Request Trace), a tool for tracing the end-to-end path of requests within a microservice application at the Linux kernel level, without requiring instrumentation of the application code.

Workload Trace Extrapolation for Future High Core-Count Processor Designs

Workload Trace Extrapolation for Future High Core-Count Processor Designs

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

Designed an innovative method to synthetically extrapolate performance for high-thread count, data-sharing intensive applications from existing low-thread count instruction traces. This approach allowed for the reuse of existing traces, significantly reducing months of retracing and validation efforts.

Faster, Better Workload Sampling for Architecture Simulations

Faster, Better Workload Sampling for Architecture Simulations

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)

Designed a new approach to perform targeted sampling of workloads for instruction traces in a microarchitecture independent fashion. This method delivers improved accuracy in performance projection with 5 to 10x reduction in storage, computational requirements and engineering efforts over the legacy approach.
