Jack J. Dongarra · 2005
The goal of performance modeling is to measure predict, and understand the performance of a computer program or set of programs on a computer system. The applications of performance modeling are numerous, including evaluation of algorithms, optimization of code implementation, parallel library development, and comparison of system architectures, parallel system design, and procurement of new systems. The overall objective of this effort was to survey a number of DoD related applications in an effort to ascertain their needs with respect to determining what metrics exist, what metrics need to be developed.
