Abstract

From the Publisher:*Fills the void between engineering practice and the academic domain's treatments of computer systems performance evaluation and assessment *Provides a single source where the professional or student can learn how to perform the computer systems engineering tradeoff analysis *Allows managers to realize cost effective yet optimal computer systems tuned to a specific application Computer Systems Performance Evaluation and Prediction provides an up-to-date treatment of the concepts and techniques applied to the performance evaluation of computer systems. Computer systems in this context include computer systems hardware and software components, computer architecture, computer networks, operating systems, database systems and middleware. The motivation in writing this book comes from the inability to find one book which adequately covers analytic, simulation and empirical testbed techniques applied to the evaluation of systems software and the computer systems which support them. The book can be used as a reference text for researchers and practitioners in the computer systems engineering and performance evaluation fields or as a single or multiple semester book on computer systems performance evaluation.
