商品描述

This book is an introduction to analytical performance modeling for computer systems, i.e., writing equations to describe their performance behavior. It is accessible to readers who have taken college-level courses in calculus and probability, networking and operating systems. This is not a training manual for becoming an expert performance analyst. Rather, the objective is to help the reader construct simple models for analyzing and understanding the systems that they are interested in.

Describing a complicated system abstractly with mathematical equations requires a careful choice of assumptions and approximations. They make the model tractable, but they must not remove essential characteristics of the system, nor introduce spurious properties.

To help the reader understand the choices and their implications, this book discusses the analytical models for 30 research papers. These papers cover a broad range of topics: processors and disks, routers and crawling, databases and multimedia, worms and wireless, multicore and cloud, etc. An appendix provides many questions for readers to exercise their understanding of the models in these papers.

Table of Contents: Preface / Preliminaries / Concepts and Little's Law / Single Queues / Open Systems / Markov Chains / Closed Systems / Bottlenecks and Flow Equivalence / Deterministic Approximations / Transient Analysis / Experimental Validation and Analysis / Analysis with an Analytical Model / Bibliography / Author's Biography

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是一本關於計算機系統分析性能建模的介紹,即使用方程式來描述其性能行為。它適合已修過微積分、機率、網絡和操作系統等大學水平課程的讀者。這不是一本成為專業性能分析師的培訓手冊,而是旨在幫助讀者構建簡單的模型來分析和理解他們感興趣的系統。

用數學方程式抽象地描述一個複雜的系統需要仔細選擇假設和近似。這些假設和近似使模型易於處理,但不能去除系統的基本特徵,也不能引入虛假的特性。

為了幫助讀者理解這些選擇及其影響,本書討論了30篇研究論文的分析模型。這些論文涵蓋了廣泛的主題:處理器和磁盤、路由器和爬蟲、數據庫和多媒體、蠕蟲和無線、多核和雲等。附錄提供了許多問題,供讀者練習對這些論文中的模型的理解。
