An engineering-oriented performance model of a computation is developed by extending the concept of a computation structure to cover the performance costs appropriate to software modelling. The model allows both serial and parallel (multiprocessor) configurations,and the evaluation of both time space parameters for alternate realizations. A brief discussion on the use of the model as a mechanism to guide the performance optimisation of programs is included.
