Details of PetaSIM and its relationship to Performance Specification Languages

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

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

Sample PetaSIM Experimental Results

Current Progress and next steps
