Foil 18 PetaSIM Estimation Approach

From Details of PetaSIM and its relationship to Performance Specification Languages Darpa Workshop on Performance Engineered Systems Annapolis Md. -- August 19-21 1998. by Yuhong Wen, Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Based on ASCII execution script defining the applications
  • Not directly work flow graphs -- rather "classic programming language"
2 Each nodeset member has usage control block to record when dataset arrives and when to send out to next nodeset member
  • Similarily each linkset member has usage control block to record at what time the linkset member is free or occupied
3 Supports both data parallel mode and individual operation on each nodeset, linkset member mode (See Jacobi Example on next pages)
  • Data parallel mode has much faster PetaSIM execution time as essentially independent of # of processors
4 Data parallel model is time stepped while individual model is simple event driven model
