Multicore architectures featuring specialized accelerators are getting an increasing amount of attention, and this success will probably influence the design of future High Perfor...
Perhaps surprisingly, no practical performance models exist for popular (and complex) client applications such as Adobe’s Creative Suite, Microsoft’s Office and Visual Studio...

Several different kinds of performance models can be generated from sets of scenarios that describe typical responses of a system, and their use of resources. The Core Scenario Mod...
This paper is structured as follows. Section 2 gives an architectural description of BlueGene/L. Section 3 analyzes the issue of “computational noise” – the effect that the o...

Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
Evaluation of non-functional properties of a design (such as performance, dependability, security, etc.) can be enabled by design annotations specific to the property to be evalua...

In order to effectively validate the performance of software systems throughout their development cycle it is necessary to continuously build performance models from software mod...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
