چکیده

In this paper, we adapt Gustafson-Barsis' law to evaluate the eeect of communication on the performance of parallel programs. We also deene some communication metrics to gain insight into the diierent aspects of communication for the purpose of understanding , controlling, and predicting the cost of communication in parallel programs. Matrix algorithms are provided to show how these metrics are computed.

Models and Resource Metrics for Parallel and Distributed Computationt

This paper presents a framework of using resource metrics to characterize the various models of parallel computation. Our framework reflects the approach of recent models to abstract architectural details into several generic parameters, which we call resource metrics. We examine the different resource metrics chosen by different parallel models, categorizing the models into four classes: the b...

Benchmarking Explicit State Parallel Model Checkers

This paper presents a set of benchmarks and metrics for performance reporting in explicit state parallel model checking algorithms. The benchmarks are selected for controllability, and the metrics are chosen to measure speedup and communication overhead. The benchmarks and metrics are used to compare two parallel model checking algorithms: partition and random walk. Implementations of the parti...

A Quantitative Evaluation of Maintainability of Software Architecture Styles

Proper decisions play a crucial role in any software architecture design process. An important decision of design stage is the selection of a suitable software architecture style. Lack of investigation on the quantitative impact of architecture styles on software quality attributes is the main problem in using such styles. Consequently, the use of architecture styles in designing is based on th...
