Abstract :
As a consequence of continuing growth in the complexity of computing applications, the conventional uniprocessor computers do not provide adequate processing power to obtain a desired system response in an acceptable elapsed time. Parallel processing techniques offer a potential solution to this problem. However, in order to exploit parallel processing techniques for an application of computing system to correctly make several important decisions such as selection of an appropriate parallel computing platform, configuration of the chosen platform assignment of application software processors of the platform. This paper describes a CAD tool called Parallel System Design Assistant which assists a parallel computing system designer in making such decisions
