Thruput Analysis of AFLC CYBER 73 Computers.
Abstract
Supporting a request from AFLC/LMTA for assistance in evaluating the performance of their CYBER-73 computer system on an expanding workload, this thesis models and analyzes the existing workload in an effort to explain job elongation in turnaround time and to predict future performance under hypothesized changes. The workload of a selected typical month, July, 1981, was used as a baseline for the study. Through a systematic redution and parameterization of job characteristics, the baseline data was clustered and statistically analyzed to detect trends in areas where job delay could occur. Performance models of elongation areas were subsequently developed, tuned, and varied to permit maximum workload optimization for the computer system. A 31 percent reduction in turnaround time was ultimately predicted from a series of 6 recommended changes in current procedures leading to a potential annual savings in excess of two and a third million dollars for the command's six computer installations.
