A Structural Approach for Modelling Performance of Systems Using Skeletons
Gagarine Yaikhom, Murray Cole, Stephen T. Gilmore, Jane Elizabeth Hillston · Electronic Notes in Theoretical Computer Science · 2007
In this paper, we discuss a structural approach to automatic performance modelling of skeleton based applications. This uses a synthesis of performance evaluation process algebra (pepa) and a pattern-oriented hierarchical expression scheme. Such approaches are important in parallel and distributed systems where the performance models must be updated regularly based on the current state of the resources.
