Synopsis This course aims to provide
students with a working knowledge of computer performance evaluation.
It covers fundamental techniques such as measurement and mathematical
modeling. The module is divided into four main parts: capacity planning,
measurement techniques and tools, analytic modeling techniques and case
studies. Topics include: capacity planning; measurement techniques and tools
covering performance metrics, workload characterization, and instrumentation;
analytical modeling techniques covering operational analysis, stochastic
queuing network analysis; principles of scalable performance.
