The principal goal of this research planning project is to prescribe a performance evaluation environment that supports the effective, efficient, and creative programming of parallel computer systems. Since the complexity of parallel computer systems makes program performance evaluation and prediction difficult, tools employing the experimental method to observe, analyze, and display system activity are essential. Accurate insights about program execution, particularly on future large systems, are possible only if innovative techniques are used in the areas of instrumentation, data management, visualization, and knowledge engineering. Within this context, this project will study the relationships between properties of parallel programs and properties of the performance representations produced during execution on scalable multicomputer systems. The validity and utility of particular views and statistics as indicators and predictors of program performance are to be investigated.

本研究计划项目的主要目标是规定一个性能评估环境，以支持并行计算机系统的有效、高效和创造性编程。由于并行计算机系统的复杂性使得程序性能评估和预测变得困难，因此采用实验方法来观察、分析和显示系统活动的工具是必不可少的。只有在仪器仪表、数据管理、可视化和知识工程领域使用创新技术，才能准确地了解程序执行，特别是在未来的大型系统上。在此背景下，本项目将研究并行程序的属性与在可扩展多计算机系统上执行时产生的性能表示的属性之间的关系。将调查特定视图和统计数据作为程序性能指标和预测因素的有效性和效用。
