Objective
Performance analysis is a key step in the design of new network architectures and protocols. If you are doing any research, whatever you are doing, you need to analyze it and show that it performs better than existing similar systems. The goal of this course is to give basic modeling, simulation, and analysis background to students so that they are able to understand performance terminology, correctly design performance experiments, use simple queueing or simulation models, and interpret results.
Syllabus:
- Introduction to performance evaluation
- Selection of performance techniques and metrics
- Workload selection
- Summarization and presentation of measured data
- Systems comparison using sample data
- Experimental design
- Simulation
- Queueing models
- Performance measurements of TCP/IP networks
Course material
- R. Jain, “The Art of Computer Systems Performance Analysis,” Wiley
Exam
To pass the exam students can choose ONE of the following:
1. mid-term exam (March 20th) + oral presentation before the end of the course
2. written exam during the exam session
