Abstract

The goal of the project is the development of performance prediction techniques for parallel systems of all  kinds and tuning the performance of parallel applications running on real machines. Prediction techniques are to be developed both for message passing as well as shared memory architectures and built upon the calculus of communicating sequential processes (CSP), which yields the most concise description if compared to other tools (like Petri nets, CCS, communicating X-machines, etc.). The project aims at utilization of CSP-based simulation tool Transim used world-wide in the widest possible spectrum of real and realistic SW/HW architectures. The main results are expected in performance prediction and tuning in digital signal and image processing, discrete optimization, and in solution of large dense and sparse systems of linear equations. Parallel platforms relevant for this project are clusters of  workstations and PCs, symmetrical multiprocessors SMP and DSP-based embedded parallel systems including chip multiprocessors and complete Systems on Chip (SoC). Prediction-based  performance  tuning will lead to the fast comparison of various multiprocessor HW/SW architectures  and promising alternatives will then be coded (in MPI or OpenMP for portability) and put under the real test . The project will also address  a difficult issue of fair performance comparison of entirely different parallel systems, methods of load balancing, and reduction of communication and synchronization overhead.
