Abstract
To realize the increased need for computing performance the current trend is towards applying parallel computing in which the tasks are run in parallel on multiple nodes. On its turn we can observe the rapid increase of the scale of parallel computing platforms. This situation has led to a complexity of parallel application development that is not scalable and tractable anymore for manual processing, and therefore automated support is required to design and implement parallel applications. To this end, we present a model-driven transformation chain for supporting the automation of the lifecycle of parallel computing applications. The model-driven transformation chain adopts metamodels that are derived from architecture viewpoints. The transformation chain is defined as a logical sequence consisting of model-to-model transformations. We present the tool support that implements the metamodels and transformations.
