CP5003 PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF COMPUTER SYSTEMS SYLLABUS
REGULATION 2017
ME CSE - SEMESTER 3

OBJECTIVES:
  • To understand the mathematical foundations needed for performance evaluation of computer systems
  • To understand the metrics used for performance evaluation
  • To understand the analytical modeling of computer systems
  • To enable the students to develop new queuing analysis for both simple and complex systems
  • To appreciate the use of smart scheduling and introduce the students to analytical techniques for evaluating scheduling policies

Need for Performance Evaluation in Computer Systems – Overview of Performance Evaluation Methods – Introduction to Queuing – Probability Review – Generating Random Variables for Simulation – Sample Paths, Convergence and Averages – Little‘s Law and other Operational Laws – Modification for Closed Systems.

UNIT II MARKOV CHAINS AND SIMPLE QUEUES

Discrete-Time Markov Chains – Ergodicity Theory – Real World Examples – Google, Aloha – Transition to Continuous-Time Markov Chain – M/M/1.

UNIT III MULTI-SERVER AND MULTI-QUEUE SYSTEMS
Server Farms: M/M/k and M/M/k/k – Capacity Provisioning for Server Farms – Time Reversibility and Burke‘s Theorem – Networks of Queues and Jackson Product Form – Classed and Closed Networks of Queues.

UNIT IV REAL-WORLD WORKLOADS
Case Study of Real-world Workloads – Phase-Type Distributions and Matrix-Alalytic Methods – Networks with Time-Sharing Servers – M/G/1 Queue and the Inspection Paradox – Task Assignment Policies for Server Farms.

UNIT V SMART SCHEDULING IN THE M/G/1
Performance Metrics – Scheduling Non-Preemptive and Preemptive Non-Size-Based Policies - . Scheduling Non-Preemptive and Preemptive Size-Based Policies – Scheduling - SRPT and Fairness.

TOTAL : 45 PERIODS

OUTCOMES :
Upon completion of this course, the students should be able to
  • Identify the need for performance evaluation and the metrics used for it
  • Distinguish between open and closed queuing networks
  • Use Little‘e law and other operational laws
  • Apply the operational laws to open and closed systems
  • Use discrete-time and continuous-time Markov chains to model real world systems
  • Develop analytical techniques for evaluating scheduling policies
