HPC systems are massively parallel and therefore sophisticated parallel programs are required to exploit their performance potential as much as possible, including but not limited to modeling the I/O performance.

To provide knowledge on how the performance of parallel programs may be assessed.

Describe how the performance of parallel programs may be assessed.
