ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus for evaluating the performance of an MP system which is configured, to simulate the MP system highly accurately and speedily, in such a way as to comprise: a trace-data sampling part for sampling execution-trace data for each processor; a trace-data conversion part for converting execution-trace data sampled for each processor by the trace-data sampling part, thus estimating substantial processing time in the processor; and a simulation part for performing simulation of the MP system based on the processing time estimated for each processor by the trace-data conversion part, in order to evaluate the performance of the MP system.
