Abstract

Some embodiments are directed to a monitoring system for monitoring a supercomputer architecture including a plurality of devices, including an events analysis module adapted for the reception of an event relating to probes associated with these devices and for the determination of items of information on at least one device as a function of data contained in the event; an information aggregation module adapted to determine second items of information on the basis of these items of information, and as a function of data on the topology of the architecture of the supercomputer; and an information transmission module, adapted for the transmission of the second items of information to at least one supervision data viewing tool.

Claims (10)

1. A method for monitoring a supercomputer architecture comprising a plurality of equipment items, the plurality of equipment items including a first set of equipment items and a second set of equipment items, the method comprising:

receiving events from a plurality of probes, each probe associated with at least one of the first set of equipment items, the plurality of probes comprising a first probe associated with a first equipment item and a second probe associated with a second equipment item;

determining first information based on data contained in an event from the first probe, wherein the first information comprises information related to a microprocessor, the microprocessor being an equipment of the first set of equipment items;

determining a second set of equipment items of the plurality of equipment items, the second set of equipment items including the first set of equipment items and an additional set of equipment items neighboring the first set of equipment items, the additional set of equipment neighboring the first set of equipment is determined based on data on a topology of the supercomputer architecture, the topology of the supercomputer architecture including an identity of each equipment item of the supercomputer and the interconnections of each of the plurality of equipment item of the supercomputer;

searching for values of probes associated with the second set of equipment items;

determining second information by aggregating the first information, the topology of the supercomputer architecture, and the values of probes associated with the second set of equipment items excluding the microprocessor; and

transmitting the second information to at least one supervision data viewing tool.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second information is transmitted to a web service.

3. A non-transient computer-readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to implement the method as claimed in claim 2 .

4. A non-transient computer-readable medium having stored thereon software instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to execute the method as claimed in claim 1 .
