This research is concerned with application level performance modeling          of parallel machines consisting of a large number of processing                 elements (PE's) connected in some regular structure.  The PE's may also         have access to some shared resources via a separate interconnection             network.  It is assumed that disjoint portions of the PE network can be         used simultaneously for solving different subproblems.  The modeling            considers several important aspects of such machines including                  contention for PE substructures, contention for shared resources such           as global memory, blocking due to data dependencies between                     subproblems, synchronization delays between processes working on a              single subproblem, and some issues relating to the optimal design.                                                                                              The main goal of the research is to develop practical techniques for            designing and tuning large parallel machines that are coming of age.
