Abstract

This paper describes a software simulation methodology which is being developed for flexible, macro-level computer systems modeling. This methodology enables one to vary the host hardware configuration under consideration without requiring alterations to the software system characterization, or vice versa. The SOFT-SIM methodology forms the basis for a computer systems simulator which will exhibit independent, data-defined software and hardware specifications. Fully defined software systems and/or probabilistic job mix scenarios can be addressed with this methodology.
