Abstract

Current large-scale computing systems consist of computation-intensive application software, a huge computational platform, possibly other system components such as sensors and actuators, and other performance instrumentation components. The new system architectures being proposed are huge distributed and parallel systems with thousands of processors distributed widely over space and executing large applications. Significant emphasis has been placed on the evaluation of the performance of these systems. The following paper surveys some of the recent performance evaluation tools that have been developed to evaluate the performance of such large scale parallel and distributed systems. A new methodology of performance evaluation using mixed level modelling techniques is proposed and its advantages over other existing tools is discussed.
