A workload extraction framework for software performance model generation
Philipp Ittershagen, Philipp A. Hartmann, Kim Grüttner, Wolfgang H. Nebel · 2015
The early performance evaluation of complex platforms and software stacks requires fast and sufficiently accurate workload representations. In the literature, two different approaches have been proposed: Host-based simulation with abstract performance annotations, enabling fast and functional simulations with limited architectural accuracy, and abstract workload models (or traffic generators) with more detailed platform resource usage patterns.
