The actual performance of parallel programs is often disappointing, especially in
comparison to the peak performance offered by the underlying hardware. There are many …

A characterisation toolset, Characterisation Instrumentation for Performance Prediction of
Parallel Systems (CHIP3S), for predicting the performance of parallel systems is presented …

This paper presents a Parameter based Performance Prediction Tool (PPPT) which is part of
the Vienna Fortran Compilation System (VFCS), a compiler that automatically translates …

Although current parallel system performance metrics include the many variants of speedup,
efficiency and isoefficiency, the authors argue that none should be used independently of …

Automatically predicting performance of parallel applications has been a long-standing goal
in the area of high performance computing. However, accurate performance prediction is …

Performance is often a key factor in determining the success of a parallel software system.
Performance evaluation techniques can be classified into three categories: measurement …

The evaluation and prediction of parallel programs performance are becoming more and
more important, so that they require appropriate techniques to identify the factors which …

A toolset, PACE (PerforAnCE analysis environment) for predicting and analysing
performance issues in parallel systems is presented here. In this toolset expert knowledge …

It has been difficult to develop simple formulations to predict the execution time of parallel
programs due to the complexity of characterizing parallel hardware and software. In an …

Current analytic solutions to the execution time prediction Y of binary parallel compositions
of tasks with arbitrary execution time distributions X 1 and X 2 are either computationally …
