System for estimating processing requirements

摘要

An application estimates sizing information and capacity limits for a processing system configuration using load data automatically provided by a load determination application. A system supports selection of processing devices for a particular user. At least one repository includes, usage information indicating distribution of usage of a plurality of functions supported by a particular configuration of processing devices and capacity information including data identifying a load limit associated with a particular usage distribution and a particular configuration of processing devices. An interface processor retrieves, from the at least one repository, data identifying a candidate particular configuration of processing devices in response to received data indicating a particular usage distribution.
