Performance Modeling in the Large: A Case Study
To manage complexity and to shorten design time, system-
level methods for specification and design are becoming indispensable. System-level methods and tools focus on the creation of executable models that describe a system in the earliest phases of the design process. They allow qualitative (correctness) and quantitative (performance) properties to be analyzed before the system is actually being realized in terms of
hardware and software components. The results of such early
analysis can be used as input for taking well-founded design
decisions.
System-level methods and tools should be based on well-
defined modeling languages to support developing an executable model that adequately represents the system to be
designed. An example of such a modeling language is the
Parallel Object-Oriented Specification Language (POOSL).
POOSL enables to construct succinct executable models of
complex real-time hardware/software systems. This paper describes our experiences with applying the POOSL formalism
on analyzing the performance properties of an industrial-sized
Internet Router system.
