Performance monitoring in a time-sharing system

Abstract: A software measurement facility which is part of a general purpose time-sharing system is described. The Data Collection Facility (DCF) has been implemented in the Michigan Terminal System (MTS) for the System 360 model 67. It exists for the purpose of monitoring operating system and user program behavior and performance. The overall structure of MTS is outlined in order to explain the implementation of the DCF. Events in the system are identified and recorded from within the supervisor, and dumped to magnetic… Show more

“…On the other hand, similar software monitors already exist for many of today's large-scale computer systems--see Pinkerton [13] (DCF, MTS360/67), Campbell and Hefner [3] (GECOS III), and GTF [7] (OS/360].…”

“…Since the inception of the performance measurement tools, there have been several alternatives for providing feedback to the analyst. For instance, tools used several decades ago [230,174,27,28,201,170] already required choosing the best approach to provide valuable insight to the user. The alternatives these tools had are similar to currently available options, no matter the technology has progressed.…”
