Performance tools are a way of making systematic the work needed to carry out performance studies so that several studies can be carried out more easily and be compared in a consistent way. After a brief overview by K. Nichols, 11 selected tools are introduced, in separate presentations, by their originating organizations. Four are strictly commercial products; most of the rest are available for a small distribution fee. They cover algorithms, architectures, their interactions, and testing of programs to meet real-time constraints. They target a range of systems: communications, computers, manufacturing, control, and embedded systems. Subjects included in the descriptions include Ada program tuning, real-time monitoring of N-cube programs, animated and analytical solution of queueing-system models, real-time and postmortem event-trace display, instrumented systems, and discrete-event simulation. The tools covered are: Network Architecture Simulation System; Q+, PM; Perspective; Axe; Hyperview; Simple/Care; Poker; Triplex; Arts; and Jed.
