    Abstract

    Structured parallel programming is one of the possible solutions to exploit Programmability, Portability and Performance in the parallel programming world. The power of this approach stands in the possibility to build an optimizing template--based compiler using low time complexity algorithms. In order to optimize the code, this compiler needs formulas that describe the performance of language constructs over the target architecture. We propose a set of parameters able to describe current parallel systems and build deterministic analytical models for basic forms of parallelism. The analytical model describes construct performance in a parametric way.This can be done by knowing that the compiler exploits a template--based support and giving template implementors guidelines to follow to make actual implementation perform as predicted.
