Foil 40 Comparison with other Simulator Approaches

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
Idiosyncratic Simulation Approach
  • PetaSIM does not run the real application
  • Uses an execution script (operation abstraction) to allow variable grain size and support of memory hierarchies
  • explicit data movement
PetaSIM exploits loosely synchronous collective computation
PetaSIM runs on single processor
PetaSIM can easily deal with different kinds of computer architecture
PetaSIM can get detailed information for any aspect of the architecture
