Abstract
The paper presents the concept of a mechanism for predicting the execution time of mathematical library functions. The technique bases on the analysis of historical information concerning the performance of previous executions. The main application of the proposed mechanism is the prediction of the execution time of mathematical library functions in the Grid RPC systems. It can also be used in other heterogeneous and distributed environments where some parts of code are often executed and the prediction of execution time is crucial for high performance of computations and/or load balancing of the resources.
