PetaSIM and its relationship to Application Emulators

Given by Yuhong Wen, Geoffrey C. Fox at Arpa Review at Maryland University on 18 May 98. Foils prepared 22 May 98

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