چکیده
* This work is partially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR), System Synthesis Environment Phase II in cooperation with InfoPike, Inc. Abstract Performance modeling and evaluation techniques are essential when designing and implementing distributed software systems. Constructing performance models for such systems can require significant effort. This paper presents Hierarchical Performance Modeling as a technique to model performance for different layers of abstraction. Once the system architecture and software functionality have been specified, this model supports performance model generation for the evaluation and analysis of computation delays of software processes, communication delays of distributed software architectures, and hardware platform alternatives. A simplified example is presented to illustrate the concepts of the Hierarchical Performance Model.

متن کاملPerformance Modeling and Analysis of Software Architectures Specified Through Graph Transformations
Software architecture plays an important role in the success of modern, large and distributed software systems. For many of the software systems – especially safety-critical ones – it is important to specify their architectures using formal modeling notations. In this case, it is possible to assess different functional and nonfunctional properties on the designed models. Graph Transformation Sy...

This paper describes a method for studying the functional and temporal performance of systems controlled by distributed autonomous agents through simulation of the agents within larger systems. There are many challenges to developing successful agent systems. Although there are multiple agent architectures or approaches for a given application, it is difficult to predict which is best. The beha...
متن کاملReliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
