    ABSTRACT:: The research summarized in this report was concerned with the
               design of testbed and emulation tools suitable to assist in
               projecting, with reasonable accuracy, the expected
               performance of highly concurrent computing systems on large,
               complete applications. Such testbed and emulation tools are
               intended for the eventual use of those exploring new
               concurrent system architectures and organizations, either as
               users or as designers of such systems. While a range of
               alternatives was considered, a software-based set of
               hierarchical tools was chosen to provide maximum flexibility,
               to ease in moving to new computers as technology improves and
               to take advantage of the inherent reliability and
               availability of commercially available computing systems.
