Performance measurements of CORBA application

Design and implementation of performance measurement tools for CORBA applications. Instrumentation of CORBA servers (Inprise - VisiBroker) running under AIX operating system and of Java CORBA clients running under Windows NT for performance measurements (within a project by IBM - Frankfurt for a telecommunication company).

Brief description:

• Design and implementation of CORBA (VisiBroker) application instrumentation using VisiBrokers interceptor concept.
• Design and implementation of response time measuring for CORBA methods with less interference as possible.
• Execution of response time measurements of standard CORBA method invocations (VisiBroker) and their statistically analysis.
• Deployment of standard AIX system tools for system performance monitoring (SMP, Threads).
