Automatic Generation of Performance Analysis Results: Requirements and Demonstration

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-to-results transformation, the results specification schema extension, and a prototype implementation. A proof of concept example demonstrates the framework.
