1 Remember 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
2 PetaSIM Design and Examples
  • as conceptual level, can use to estimate performance of applications in any language
  • Like RMI, use Java itself as IDL to specify object structure of computers and problems
  • Nodeset & Linkset; Dataset & Distribution; Execution Script
  • Relation to general PSL (Performance Specification Language) concept
3 Sample PetaSIM Experimental Results
4 Current Progress and next steps
