In this paper, we illustrate a model-based approach to Web server performance evaluation, and present an analytic queueing model of Web servers in distributed environments. Perfor...
The multicore revolution is underway, bringing new chips introducing more complex memory architectures. Classical algorithms must be revisited in order to take the hierarchical me...
Performance tuning is an important and time consuming task which may have to be repeated for each new application and platform. Although iterative optimisation can automate this p...
This paper describes a way to manage the modeling and analysis of Scheduled Maintenance Systems (SMS) within an analytically tractable context. We chose a significant case study h...
The increase in the use of parallel distributed architectures in order to solve large-scale scientific problems has generated the need for performance prediction for both determi...
