Hypersim: a hypercube simulator for parallel systems performance modeling
W. L. Bain, S. Arshi · 1988
This paper describes a software tool for parallel systems performance modeling, called Hypersim. Hypersim was developed by Intel Scientific Computers in order to evaluate the performance of various architectural alternatives for its future parallel machines. Hypersim runs on the Sun* 3 workstation and on the Intel iPSC concurrent super computer. The use of the iPSC system allows us to simulate large models, which do not fit within the Sun's physical memory and cause excessive paging delays.
