A simulator of homogeneous multiprocessor systems

A simulator for a multiprocessor system consisting of p identical processors and m shared memories connected by a crossbar switch is presented. Its main features are a DO-loop unwrapper, the scheduler and the emulator. Special attention is given to the automatic partitioning of a high level program into parallel tasks. This allows the user to concentrate on different processor configurations and experience with many algorithms. The simulator takes into account communication delays and variable execution times for different operations
