Java Tools for Measurement of the Machine Loads

This article presents an observation mechanism of the evolution of the machine load. These machines form an execution platform for irregular distributed applications which are developed in Java/RMI. This observation mechanism is entirely designed in Java. It is thus entirely portable. We developed this mechanism in the form of a measuring tool of load and a tool for diffusion of the load information. We also present the various experiments we have done in order to validate these tools.
