Achieving satisfactory performance is a particularly challenging problem in heterogeneous computing environments. Application developers need sophisticated and cost-effective techniques to estimate the performance results before testing on the target hardware. This article describes the development environment that hinges on PS, an existing simulator of PVM programs. Using PS together with companion tools and utilities, developers can carry out performance prediction and analysis of distributed applications executed in heterogeneous- and network-computing environments. After first presenting the simulation method they have adopted, the authors discuss the performance prediction and analysis cycle, outline the simulator's accuracy and speed performance, and a give a brief application example. The authors close with a comparison to related work on distributed system performance evaluation.
