Methods for Definition and Scalable Execution of Performance Models for Distributed Applications

摘要

A method and system for defining performance models of distributed applications such as distributed systems or network systems in a way that combines discrete and analytical models and simulating such performance models for analyzing software performance and impacts on devices of the distributed applications is described. Also described is a method for accelerating the simulation process by converting the discrete load into aggregate load dynamically based on the statistical analysis of the simulation results.
