See other Modeling Tools in Performance Management section. SPE·ED "a tool designed specifically to support the SPE methods and models defined in Connie U. Smith's book." "Using a small amount of data about envisioned software processing, SPE·ED creates and solves performance models, and presents visual results." Palladio, a software architecture simulation approach QPME, (Queueing Petri net Modeling Environment), an open-source tool for stochastic modeling and analysis PerformanceIt is often difficult to separate information how to design systems with good performance (architecture, performance patterns, language structures, etc.) from information how to tune and deploy systems, quite often both sides are considered. Although more architecture- technology- and language - oriented links are placed here, a lot of related information can be found in the Tuning section.
