Hi there, I am interested in any kind of material, papers, books, references, ideas, thoughts, critics, etc. about PERFORMANCE PREDICTION tools/strategies/philosophies which were (will be) developed for parallelizing compilers or might be used by parallelizing compilers to semi- or fully automatically predict the performance of some program to be run on a parallel system. I am not really interested in some kind of pseudo-hand analysis of some algorithms running in parallel. I'm mainly interested in methods which could be used to (semi-)AUTOMATICALLY predict the performance of a let's say Fortran program to be run on a parallel system. Thus such a tool could be used by a parallelizing compiler to find out about the performance outcome of some data partitions or alignment strategies or transformation sequences before actually running the program on the real machine. If anyone asks for, I will be glad to post a summary. Thanks in advance.
