Abstract

Grid computing environment can be used to interconnect a wide variety of geographically distributed heterogeneous computing resources based on high-speed network. To make business service, it is necessary for Grid accounting system to measure the computational cost by consuming computer resources. To collect resource consumption data, and to keep track of process without needing to recompile kernel source, we use system call wrapping. By making use of this technique, we modifies system call table and replace existing system call to new system call that can monitor processes running in CPU kernel currently. Therefore we can measure user process resource usage for Grid accounting system.
