        Is there a way for me to determine the number of mathematical
operations that will be performed in a program?  I am looking for 
a function, program, or methodology.

        I am writing a PVM application and I need to know the number
of mathematical operations that a child will perform.  With 
simple child programs, where it exhibits fine grained behavior,
it is easy to just guesstimate a number but I will be expanding 
this problem to have a very coarse granularity and this will not 
be feasible.

        Pointers, comments, hints appreciated.
