For parallelizing an algorithm and for mapping a given program onto a parallel or distributed system there are generally many possibilities. Performance models can help to predict which implementation and which mapping is the best for a given algorithm and for a given computer configuration. Stochastic graph modeling is an appropriate method, since the execution order of tasks, their runtime distribution, and branching probabilities are represented.In this paper a survey of the modeling possibilities and the analysis techniques implemented in our tool PEPP is presented. The analysis techniques include a new approximation method and powerful bounding methods for the mean runtime.
