PMM is a tool that has been developed to address issues surrounding the construction, maintenance and use of Functional Performance Models in a variety of parallel computing environments. It consists of three main features. Firstly it implements the Geometric Bisection Building Procedure for multi-parameter FPMs, optimizing the construction of a problem’s performance model. It permits a large number of problems to have their construction managed by implementing a flexible benchmarking scheduler, suitable for use where a queuing system does not exist. Finally it provides access to the models in a variety of ways, allowing feedback from actual executions and providing tools to use the models in scheduling decisions.
