This paper presents a performance analysis tool (BAL) for concurrent systems that involves resources and synchronization. It is based on timed process algebra (BTC) for specifying process systems and their resource requirements. The output of the tool is the minimum time and resources needed to reach a given state. BAL makes the syntactic analysis of the system specification, draws up its relevant transition graph by applying the rules of the operational semantics and solves a performance optimization problem relevant to the minimization of the maximum completion time. A case study is used to assess how BAL works, the degree of usefulness of the results and the time required to obtain them.
