As modern multi-tier systems are becoming increasingly large and complex, it becomes more difficult for system analysts to understand the overall behavior of the system, and diag...
Abstract. Designing and tuning parallel applications with MPI, particularly at large scale, requires understanding the performance implications of different choices of algorithms ...

—Flash-based Solid-State Drives (SSDs) have become a promising alternative to magnetic Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) thanks to the large improvements in performance, power consumption,...
Obtaining performance models, like Markov chains and queueing networks, for systems of significant complexity and magnitude is a difficult task that is usually tackled using human...
Abstract. We present new performance models and a new, more compact data structure for cache blocking when applied to the sparse matrixvector multiply (SpM×V) operation, y ← y +...

Multi-resolution validation of hierarchical performance models of scientific applications is critical primarily for two reasons. First, the step-by-step validation determines the c...
Abstract. Software performance prediction methods are typically validated by taking an appropriate software system, performing both performance predictions and performance measurem...
The execution of an application on a high performance system requires parameters concerning the problem in hand, and those that determine the system mapping, to be specified by a ...
