1 | PetaSIM was designed to allow "qualitative" performance estimates" where in particular the design of machine is particularly easy to change |
2 | The project will build up a suite of applications which can be used in future activities such as "Petaflop" architectures studies |
3 | Applications are to be derived "by hand" or by automatic generation from Maryland Application Emulators |
4 | Special attention to support of hierarchical memory machines and data intensive applications |
5 | Support parallelism and representation at different grain sizes |
6 | Support simulation of "pure data-parallel" and composition of linked modules |
