A Coarse Grain Performance Estimator -- PetaSIM and a Hybrid Distributed Object Model for the IPG

PetaSIM Motivation and basic ideas (Using aircraft analogy) aimed at conceptual design of computer architecture and applications ( as opposed to later preliminary and detailed design) Java applet as friendly user interface; C++ execution engine

PetaSIM Design and Examples as conceptual level, can use to estimate performance of applications in any language Like RMI, use Java to specify object structure of computers and problems -- need to integrate with other PSL

Sample PetaSIM Experimental Results

A hybrid object web model for IPG (Information Power Grid)

Possible use of PetaSIM in IPG for two classes of applications Multimedia transport in collaborative systems Collection of coarse grain data flow modules
