β¦ Synopsis
The pipelines of processor farms (PPF) design pattern, intended for continuous-flow embedded systems, has been augmented by a software toolkit at the system analysis level. Other relevant approaches to system support employing tools are reviewed. The PPF structure supports incrementally scalable systems which can meet real-time specifications. An outline of the design and development cycle of PPF systems follows. The paper considers in detail the prediction component of the cycle. A graphical simulation tool for modelling asynchronous pipeline behaviour uses a Java-based visual display. An extended example showing how the performance tool supports PPF design principles concludes the paper.

This paper addresses optimal mapping of parallel programs composed of a chain of data parallel tasks onto the processors of a parallel system. The input to the programs is a stream of data sets, each of which is processed in order by the chain of tasks. This computation structure, also referred to a
