Abstract

The answers to many important performance relatedquestions with multiclass queueing models depends uponhaving estimates for the service times of different classesof jobs. We present a general approach to infer the per-classservice times at different servers in an environmentwhere only server throughput, utilization and per-class responsetime measurements are available. The per-classservice times are solutions to an optimization problemwith queueing-theoretic formulas in the objective and constraints.We further study the impact of the variance of servicetimes on the variance of response times. A few casestudies are presented to demonstrate the power of our approach.
