The Multigraph Modeling Tool (MMT) has been developed as a performance prediction tool for parallel applications executing on multicomputer systems.MMT is a program generator that accepts as input a system description (i.e., a parallel application and the hardware on which it executes) and from this description automatically generates an analytic model which can be used to predict the performance of the system.The solution of the analytic model results in standard performance metrics such as processor utilization and application response time.A change in a parameter of the system description results in MMT automatically generating a new analytic model.The dierent sets of metrics produced for a system by v arying description parameters can be used by engineers to determine those parameters which result in the best performance.MMT has been applied to a network of RS6000 workstations and to an Intel Paragon.
