Simulation of High-Performance Computer System

摘要

During Espirt project 6942 PEPS (Performance Evalvation of Parallel Systems), we developed modelling tools for high-perforamnce computer systems. Those tools are primarily aimed at application developers and platform designers. They rely on a proven object-oreitned modelling methodology and the concept of a library of model components. The tools allow one to develop model libraries based on the technology of queuing networks. The technical details required by this technology are then hidden from the end user. The methodology and tools have been tested on seven "test-cases", covering a wide spectrum of application areas and hardware platforms. The tools are now available as part of the software product MODLINE.
