Abstract

Performance modeling and analysis of computer systems are often ignored during the project design phase in favor of other techniques collectively known as structured design or software engineering. We describe benefits that can result from including performance analysis as an integral part of the design process. Several different goals, time frames, and roles played by performance analysis during system design are illustrated by three case studies of current projects at Los Alamos.
