A Performance Model Interchange Format (PMIF) provides a mechanism whereby system model information may be transferred among performance modeling tools. The PMIF allows diverse tools to exchange information and requires only that the importing and exporting tools either support the PMIF or provide an interface that reads/writes model specifications from/to a file. This paper presents a new version of the PMIF specification (PMIF 2.0) and its XML implementation. The paper also describes a prototype that was implemented to prove the concept, in which the exporting tool is SPE·ED and the importing tool is Qnap, and it discusses the issues in this and the reverse exchange. It shows the validation of the prototype based on the solution of examples that were exported from SPE·ED and imported by Qnap. In addition, it proposes some extensions to PMIF 2.0.
Abstract. This paper presents a performance model interoperability framework that brings together performance model interchange formats and experiment specifications with the automatic generation of performance analysis results for presentation and publication. We define the Use Cases and requirements and survey output and results used in practice. We present the output specification, the issues in the output-toresults transformation, the results specification schema extension, and a prototype implementation. A proof of concept example demonstrates the framework.
