RT Conference Proceedings T1 GEN4MAST: A Tool for the Evaluation of Real-Time Techniques Using a Supercomputer A1 Rivas, Juan M. A1 Gutiérrez, J. Javier A1 González Harbour, Michael A2 Cucinotta, Tommaso A2 Pautet, Laurent A2 García Valls, Marisol AB The constant development of new approaches in real-time systems makes it necessary to create tools or methods to perform their evaluations in an efficient way. It is not uncommon for these evaluations to be constrained by the processing power of current personal computers. Thus, it is still a challenging issue to know whether a specific technique could perform better than another one, or the improvement remains invariable in all circumstances. In this paper we present the GEN4MAST tool, which can take advantage of the performance of a supercomputer to execute longer evaluations that wouldn’t be possible in a common computer. GEN4MAST is built around the widely used MAST tool, automating the whole process of distributed systems generation, execution of the requested analysis or optimization techniques, and the processing of the results. GEN4MAST integrates several generation methods to create realistic workloads. We show that the different methods can have a great impact on the results of distributed systems.
