Abstract

Computer systems often have many possible configurations, and designing a high performance system often requires selecting the best configuration. Unfortunately, the performance of complex systems can often be estimated only via simulations, or with measurements of real systems. Since longer simulation times are required to estimate the performance more accurately, it is often computationally intractable to estimate the performance of all configurations accurately via simulations. (Measurements of real systems can take even longer.)
