Abstract

The ALPSTONE project comprises a methodology and tools that guide a programmer of parallel software from the design of a program to the finished code under the aspect of performance, such as performance prediction and benchmarking. We summarize the goals, present the basic methodology, focus on the benchmarking aspect, and sketch the software system under construction.
