Measuring the Performance of Process Synchronization with the Model-Driven Approach

Abstract

Concurrent and parallel computing can be used to effectively speed up computations. However, the overall performance gain depends on the way how the concurrency has been introduced to the program. Considering process synchronization as one of the most important aspects in concurrent programming, this paper describes the possibility of application of the model-driven approach in the concept of a software framework for measuring the performance of process synchronization algorithms. Such framework could help determine and analyze the features of specific synchronization techniques in different cases, depending on different input parameters. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
