 StarPU ships a few performance models for a couple of systems: attila,

+\section FakeSimulations Simulations on fake machines
+
+It is possible to build fake machines which do not exist, by modifying the
+platform file in <c>$STARPU_HOME/.starpu/sampling/bus/machine.platform.xml</c>
+by hand: one can add more CPUs, add GPUs (but the performance model file has to
+be extended as well), change the available GPU memory size, PCI memory bandwidth, etc.

 The simulation can be tweaked, to be able to tune it between a very accurate
