In this paper, we discuss the problem of developing performance-oriented software and the need for methodologies. We then present the EDPEPPS (Environment for Design and Performance Evaluation of Portable Parallel Software) approach to the problem of designing and evaluating high-performance (parallel) applications. The EDPEPPS toolset is based on a rapid prototyping philosophy, where the designer synthesizes a model of the intended software which may be simulated, and the performance is subsequently analyzed using visualization. The toolset combines a graphical design tool, a simulation facility, and a visualization tool. The same design is used to produce a code suitable for simulation and real execution.
