This course aims to provide students with a working knowledge of computer performance evaluation.  It covers fundamental techniques such as measurement and mathematical modeling. The module is divided into four main parts: capacity planning, performance measurement, analytic models and case studies. Topics include: capacity planning; measurement covering performance metrics, workload characterization, and instrumentation; analytic techniques covering operational analysis, stochastic queuing network analysis; and principles of scalable performance.
