The objective of this course to understand the fundamental concepts of computer system
performance evaluation.
This will include introduction to mathematical modeling
techniques (Markov Chains, Queuing Theory and Networks of Queues), discrete event
simulation modeling, experiment design, workload characterization, measurement of
performance metrics, analysis and presentation of results.
Module No.
