Performance prediction of a virtual machine
Mabaran Rajaraman · ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review · 1979
Modeling and simulation of computer systems have two main objectives. First, to evaluate the performance of a given configuration of a machine and second, to derive a mechanism for prediction of performance when configuration parameters change. This paper addresses the second issue and reports the result of a recent investigation of a Virtual Memory Computer. The results indicate which variables or combination of variables have significant effect on the performance and which do not.
