Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely:  study the issue of performance prediction on the SGI-Por Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention among processors. By running a carefully designed suite of microbenchmarks,  provide quantitative evidence that memory hierarchy effects impact performance far more substantially than other phenomena related to contention.  also fit three cost functions based on variants of the BSP model, which do not account for the hierarchy, and a newly defined function F expressed in terms of hardware counters, which captures both memory hierarchy and contention effects.  test the accuracy of all the functions on both synthetic and application benchmarks showing that, unlike the other functions, F achieves an excellent level of accuracy in all cases. Although hardware counters are only available at run-time,  give evidence that function F can still be employed as a prediction tool by extrapolating values of the counters from pilot runs on small input sizes.
