This paper describes an overview of Environment for Memory Performance Studies (EMPS). EMPS is a framework to allow different data gathering and simulation tools to be composed together to predict the performance of parallel programs on a variety of current and future High End Computing (HEC) systems. The framework seeks to combine the automated nature of direct execution simulation with the predictive capabilities of performance modeling.
